24. Therefore has the Lord recompensed me according to my righteousness (my uprightness and right standing with Him), according to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.
25. With the kind and merciful You will show Yourself kind and merciful, with an upright man You will show Yourself upright,
26. With the pure You will show Yourself pure, and with the perverse You will show Yourself contrary.
27. For You deliver an afflicted and humble people but will bring down those with haughty looks.
28. For You cause my lamp to be lighted and to shine; the Lord my God illumines my darkness.
29. For by You I can run through a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall.
30. As for God, His way is perfect! The word of the Lord is tested and tried; He is a shield to all those who take refuge and put their trust in Him.
