23. I have observed all his laws;I have not disobeyed his commands.
24. He knows that I am faultless,that I have kept myself from doing wrong.
25. And so he rewards me because I do what is right,because he knows that I am innocent.
26. O Lord, you are faithful to those who are faithful to you,and completely good to those who are perfect.
27. You are pure to those who are pure,but hostile to those who are wicked.
28. You save those who are humble,but you humble those who are proud.
29. You, Lord, are my light;you dispel my darkness.
30. You give me strength to attack my enemiesand power to overcome their defences.
31. This God — how perfect are his deeds,how dependable his words!He is like a shieldfor all who seek his protection.
32. The Lord alone is God;God alone is our defence.
33. This God is my strong refuge;he makes my pathway safe.
34. He makes me sure-footed as a deer;he keeps me safe on the mountains.
35. He trains me for battle,so that I can use the strongest bow.
36. O Lord, you protect me and save me;your help has made me great.
