Psalms 18:20-34 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

20. The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

21. For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

22. For all his judgments were before me, and I put not away his statutes from me.

23. I was also perfect with him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.

24. Therefore hath the Lord recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

25. With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with the perfect man thou wilt shew thyself perfect;

26. With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the perverse thou wilt shew thyself froward.

27. For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes thou wilt bring down.

28. For thou wilt light my lamp: the Lord my God will lighten my darkness.

29. For by thee I run upon a troop; and by my God do I leap over a wall.

30. As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried; he is a shield unto all them that trust in him.

31. For who is God, save the Lord? and who is a rock, beside our God?

32. The God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.

33. He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my high places,

34. He teacheth my hands to war; so that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.
