Psalms 18:20-26

20The Lord has 1rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the 2cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me.21For I have 3kept the ways of the Lord, And have 4not wickedly departed from my God.22For all 5His ordinances were before me, And I did not put away His 6statutes from me.23I was also 78blameless with Him, And I 9kept myself from my iniquity.24Therefore the Lord has 10recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands in His eyes.

25With 11the kind You show Yourself kind; With the 12blameless 13You show Yourself blameless;26With the pure You show Yourself 14pure, And with the crooked 15You show Yourself 16astute.
