Psalms 18:20-36

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.27For You 17save an afflicted people, But 18haughty eyes You abase.28For You 19light my lamp; The Lord my God 20illumines my darkness.29For by You I can 2122run upon a troop; And by my God I can 23leap over a wall.

30As for God, His way is 2425blameless; The 26word of the Lord is tried; He is a 27shield to all who take refuge in Him.31For 28who is God, but the Lord? And who is a 29rock, except our God,32The God who 30girds me with strength And 31makes my way 3233blameless?33He 34makes my feet like hinds’ feet, And 35sets me upon my high places.34He 36trains my hands for battle, So that my arms can 37bend a bow of bronze.35You have also given me 38the shield of Your salvation, And Your 39right hand upholds me; And 40Your 41gentleness makes me great.36You 42enlarge my steps under me, And my 4344feet have not slipped.
