Psalms 18:22-33

22For allH3605 1His ordinancesH4941 were beforeH5048 me, And I did not putH5493 awayH5493 His 2statutesH2708 from me.23I was also 34blamelessH8549 with Him, And I 5keptH8104 myself from my iniquityH5771.24Therefore the LordH3068 has 6recompensedH7725 me according to my righteousnessH6664, According to the cleannessH1252 of my handsH3027 in His eyesH5869.

25With 7the kindH2623 You showH2616 Yourself kindH2616; With the 8blamelessH8549 9You showH8552 Yourself blamelessH8552;26With the pureH1305 You showH1305 Yourself 10pureH1305, And with the crookedH6141 11You showH6617 Yourself 12astuteH6617.27For You 13saveH3467 an afflictedH6041 peopleH5971, But 14haughtyH7311 eyesH5869 You abaseH8213.28For You 15lightH215 my lampH5216; The LordH3068 my GodH430 16illuminesH5050 my darknessH2822.29For by You I can 1718runH7323 upon a troopH1416; And by my GodH430 I can 19leapH1801 over a wallH7791.

30As for GodH410, His wayH1870 is 2021blamelessH8549; The 22wordH565 of the LordH3068 is triedH6884; He is a 23shieldH4043 to allH3605 who takeH2620 refugeH2620 in Him.31For 24whoH4310 is GodH433, but the LordH3068? And whoH4310 is a 25rockH6697, exceptH2108 our GodH430,32The GodH410 who 26girdsH247 me with strengthH2428 And 27makesH5414 my wayH1870 2829blamelessH8549?33He 30makesH7737 my feetH7272 like hinds’H355 feet, And 31setsH5975 me upon my highH1116 placesH1116.
