Psalm 18:20-27

New King James Version

^20 (A)The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness;
According to the cleanness of my hands
He has 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 blameless ^[a]before Him,
And I kept myself from my iniquity.
^24 (B)Therefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness,
According to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.

^25 (C)With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful;
With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless;
²⁶ With the pure You will show Yourself pure;
And ^(D)with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd.
²⁷ For You will save the humble people,
But will bring down ^(E)haughty looks.
