20. According to my righteousnesshe did me recompense,He me repaid according tomy hands' pure innocence.
21. For I God's ways kept, from my Goddid not turn wickedly.
22. His judgments were before me, Ihis laws put not from me.
23. Sincere before him was my heart;with him upright was I;And watchfully I kept myselffrom mine iniquity.
24. After my righteousness the Lordhath recompensed me,After the cleanness of my handsappearing in his eye.
25. Thou gracious to the gracious art,to upright men upright:
26. Pure to the pure, froward thou kyth'stunto the froward wight.
27. For thou wilt the afflicted savein grief that low do lie:But wilt bring down the countenanceof them whose looks are high.
28. The Lord will light my candle so,that it shall shine full bright:The Lord my God will also makemy darkness to be light.
29. By thee through troops of men I break,and them discomfit all;And, by my God assisting me,I overleap a wall.
30. As for God, perfect is his way:the Lord his word is try'd;He is a buckler to all thosewho do in him confide.
31. Who but the Lord is God? but hewho is a rock and stay?
32. 'Tis God that girdeth me with strength,and perfect makes my way.
33. He made my feet swift as the hinds,set me on my high places.
34. Mine hands to war he taught, mine armsbrake bows of steel in pieces.
