Psalms 18:22-33

22For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.

23I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.1

24Therefore hath Yhwh recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.2

25With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;

26With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the perverse thou wilt shew thyself contrary.3

27For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.

28For thou wilt light my candle: Yhwh my God will enlighten my darkness.4

29For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.5

30As for God, his way is perfect: the word of Yhwh is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.6

31For who is God save Yhwh? or who is a rock save our God?

32It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.

33He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and setteth me upon my high places.
