25 With the faithful
you prove yourself faithful,
with the blameless
you prove yourself blameless,
26 with the pure
you prove yourself pure,
but with the crooked
you prove yourself shrewd.(A)
27 For you rescue an oppressed people,(B)
but you humble those with haughty eyes.(C)
28 Lord, you light my lamp;
my God illuminates my darkness.(D)
29 With you I can attack a barricade,[a]
and with my God I can leap over a wall.(E)

30 God—his way is perfect;(F)
the word of the Lord is pure.(G)
He is a shield to all who take refuge in him.(H)
