²⁰ The Lord dealt with me ^(A)according to my righteousness;
    according to ^(B)the cleanness of my hands he rewarded me.
²¹ For I have ^(C)kept the ways of the Lord,
    and have not wickedly departed from my God.
²² For ^(D)all his rules^[a] were before me,
    and his statutes I did not put away from me.
²³ I was ^(E)blameless before him,
    and I kept myself from my guilt.
²⁴ So the Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,
    according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.

²⁵ With ^(F)the merciful you show yourself merciful;
    with the blameless man you show yourself blameless;
²⁶ with the purified you show yourself pure;
    and with ^(G)the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.

⁸ The Lord ^(A)judges the peoples;
    ^(B)judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness
    and according to the integrity that is in me.
⁹ Oh, let the evil of the wicked come to an end,
    and may you establish the righteous—
you who ^(C)test ^(D)the minds and hearts,^[a]
    O righteous God!
