Psalm 18:20-28

Revised Standard Version

²⁰ The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness;
    according to the cleanness of my hands he recompensed me.
²¹ For I have kept the ways of the Lord,
    and have not wickedly departed from my God.
²² For all his ordinances were before me,
    and his statutes I did not put away from me.
²³ I was blameless before him,
    and I kept myself from guilt.
²⁴ Therefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness,
    according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.

²⁵ With the loyal thou dost show thyself loyal;
    with the blameless man thou dost show thyself blameless;
²⁶ with the pure thou dost show thyself pure;
    and with the crooked thou dost show thyself perverse.
²⁷ For thou dost deliver a humble people;
    but the haughty eyes thou dost bring down.
²⁸ Yea, thou dost light my lamp;
    the Lord my God lightens my darkness.
