23. For all his rules were before me,and from his statutes I did not turn aside.
24. I was blameless before him,and I kept myself from guilt.
25. And the Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,according to my cleanness in his sight.
26. “With the merciful you show yourself merciful;with the blameless man you show yourself blameless;
27. with the purified you deal purely,and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.
28. You save a humble people, but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them down.
29. For you are my lamp, O Lord,and my God lightens my darkness.
30. For by you I can run against a troop,and by my God I can leap over a wall.
31. This God—his way is perfect;the word of the Lord proves true;he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.
32. “For who is God, but the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God?
33. This God is my strong refugeand has made my way blameless.
