20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. |
21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God. |
22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me. |
23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity. |
24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight. |
25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright; |
26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward. |
27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks. |
28 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. |
