Psalms 18:20-26

20The Lord was kind to me because I do things that please him. He blesses me because I am not guilty of bad things.

21I have obeyed the Lord's commands. I have not turned against my God.

22I understand all his rules, and I do not refuse to obey them.

23He knows that I have done nothing that is wrong. I kept away from any sin.

24The Lord has been kind to me, because I did good things. He sees that I am not guilty.

25Lord, if people are faithful to you, then you are faithful to them. If people do nothing that is bad, they can trust you to do nothing bad to them.

26If people always do what is right, they can trust you to be kind to them. But if people are wicked, you turn against them.
