New Testament

Psalms 18:22-30 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

22. For all His ordinances were before me, And I did not put away His statutes from me.

23. I was also blameless with Him, And I kept myself from my iniquity.

24. Therefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands in His eyes.

25. With the kind You show Yourself kind; With the blameless You show Yourself blameless;

26. With the pure You show Yourself pure, And with the crooked You show Yourself astute.

27. For You save an afflicted people, But haughty eyes You abase.

28. For You light my lamp; The Lord my God illumines my darkness.

29. For by You I can run upon a troop; And by my God I can leap over a wall.

30. As for God, His way is blameless; The word of the Lord is tried; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
