Psalm 18:20-28
New American Standard Bible
20 The Lord has (A)rewarded me according to my righteousness;
According to the (B)cleanness of my hands He has repaid me.
21 For I have (C)kept the ways of the Lord,
And have (D)not acted wickedly against my God.
22 For all (E)His judgments were before me,
And I did not put away His (F)statutes from me.
23 I was also [a](G)blameless with Him,
And I (H)kept myself from my wrongdoing.
24 Therefore the Lord has (I)repaid me according to my righteousness,
According to the cleanness of my hands in His eyes.
25 With (J)the faithful You show Yourself faithful;
With the [b]blameless (K)You prove Yourself blameless;
26 With the pure You show Yourself (L)pure,
And with the crooked (M)You show Yourself [c]astute.
27 For You (N)save an afflicted people,
But You humiliate (O)haughty eyes.
28 For You (P)light my lamp;
The Lord my God (Q)illumines my darkness.

and have kept myself from sin.
24 The Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,(H)
according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
