New King James Version

Psalm 18:20-24
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.
