Psalms 18:22-33
22For all 1His ordinances were before me, And I did not put away His 2statutes from me.23I was also 34blameless with Him, And I 5kept myself from my iniquity.24Therefore the Lord has 6recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands in His eyes.
25With 7the kind You show Yourself kind; With the 8blameless 9You show Yourself blameless;26With the pure You show Yourself 10pure, And with the crooked 11You show Yourself 12astute.27For You 13save an afflicted people, But 14haughty eyes You abase.28For You 15light my lamp; The Lord my God 16illumines my darkness.29For by You I can 1718run upon a troop; And by my God I can 19leap over a wall.
30As for God, His way is 2021blameless; The 22word of the Lord is tried; He is a 23shield to all who take refuge in Him.31For 24who is God, but the Lord? And who is a 25rock, except our God,32The God who 26girds me with strength And 27makes my way 2829blameless?33He 30makes my feet like hinds’ feet, And 31sets me upon my high places.
