Psalms 18:22-33

22because all his judgments are in front of me and I have not turned away from his laws.

23I was innocent as far as he was concerned. I have kept myself from guilt.

24The Lord paid me back because of my righteousness, because he can see that my hands are clean.

25⌞In dealing⌟ with faithful people you are faithful, with innocent people you are innocent,

26with pure people you are pure. ⌞In dealing⌟ with devious people you are clever.

27You save humble people, but you bring down a conceited look.

28O Lord, you light my lamp. My God turns my darkness into light.

29With you I can attack a line of soldiers. With my God I can break through barricades.

30God’s way is perfect! The promise of the Lord has proven to be true. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.

31Who is God but the Lord? Who is a rock except our God?

32God arms me with strength and makes my way perfect.

33He makes my feet like those of a deer and gives me sure footing on high places.
