24 So the Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,
    according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.

25 With (A)the merciful you show yourself merciful;
    with the blameless man you show yourself blameless;
26 with the purified you show yourself pure;
    and with (B)the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.
27 For you save (C)a humble people,
    but (D)the haughty eyes you bring down.
28 For it is you who light my (E)lamp;
    the Lord my God lightens my darkness.
29 For by you I can run against a troop,
    and by my God I can (F)leap over (G)a wall.
30 This God—his way is (H)perfect;[a]
    the word of the Lord (I)proves true;
    he is (J)a shield for all those who (K)take refuge in him.
