Psalms 18:20-36

20YhwhH3068 rewardedH1580 me according to my righteousnessH6664; according to the cleannessH1252 of my handsH3027 hath he recompensedH7725 me.

21For I have keptH8104 the waysH1870 of YhwhH3068, and have not wickedly departedH7561 from my GodH430.

22For all his judgmentsH4941 were before me, and I did not put awayH5493 his statutesH2708 from me.

23I was also uprightH8549 before him, and I keptH8104 myself from mine iniquityH5771.1

24Therefore hath YhwhH3068 recompensedH7725 me according to my righteousnessH6664, according to the cleannessH1252 of my handsH3027 in his eyesightH5869.2

25With the mercifulH2623 thou wilt shew thyself mercifulH2616; with an uprightH8549 manH1399 thou wilt shew thyself uprightH8552;

26With the pureH1305 thou wilt shew thyself pureH1305; and with the perverseH6141 thou wilt shew thyself contraryH6617.3

27For thou wilt saveH3467 the afflictedH6041 peopleH5971; but wilt bring downH8213 highH7311 looksH5869.

28For thou wilt lightH215 my candleH5216: YhwhH3068 my GodH430 will enlightenH5050 my darknessH2822.4

29For by thee I have run throughH7323 a troopH1416; and by my GodH430 have I leaped overH1801 a wallH7791.5

30As for GodH410, his wayH1870 is perfectH8549: the wordH565 of YhwhH3068 is triedH6884: he is a bucklerH4043 to all those that trustH2620 in him.6

31For who is GodH433 saveH1107 YhwhH3068? or who is a rockH6697 saveH2108 our GodH430?

32It is GodH410 that girdethH247 me with strengthH2428, and makethH5414 my wayH1870 perfectH8549.

33He makethH7737 my feetH7272 like hinds’H355 feet, and settethH5975 me upon my high placesH1116.

34He teachethH3925 my handsH3027 to warH4421, so that a bowH7198 of steelH5154 is brokenH5181 by mine armsH2220.

35Thou hast also givenH5414 me the shieldH4043 of thy salvationH3468: and thy right handH3225 hath holden me upH5582, and thy gentlenessH6037 hath made me greatH7235.7

36Thou hast enlargedH7337 my stepsH6806 under me, that my feetH7166 did not slipH4571.8
