22 (A)For I have kept the ways of the Lord,
And have not acted wickedly against my God.
23 (B)For all His ordinances were before me,
And as for His statutes, I did not deviate from [a]them.
24 (C)I was also [b]blameless toward Him,
And I have kept myself from my wrongdoing.
25 (D)So the Lord has repaid me in accordance with my righteousness,
In accordance with my cleanliness before His eyes.
26 (E)With the one who is faithful You show Yourself faithful,
With the [c]blameless one You prove Yourself [d]blameless;
27 (F)With the one who is pure You show Yourself pure,
(G)But with the perverted You [e]show Yourself astute.
28 (H)And You save an afflicted people;
(I)But Your eyes are on the haughty whom You humiliate.
29 (J)For You are my lamp, Lord;
And the Lord illuminates my darkness.
30 (K)For by You I can run at a [f]troop of warriors;
By my God I can leap over a wall.
31 (L)As for God, His way is [g]blameless;
(M)The word of the Lord is refined;
(N)He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
