26With the kind You show Yourself kind, With the blameless You show Yourself blameless; 27With the pure You show Yourself pure, And with the perverted You show Yourself astute. And You save an afflicted people; But Your eyes are on the haughty whom You abase. 29For You are my lamp, O Lord; And the Lord illumines my darkness. 30For by You I can run upon a troop; By my God I can leap over a wall.
