22. For I have kept the Lord’s ways,and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23. For all his ordinances were before me.As for his statutes, I didn’t depart from them.
24. I was also perfect towards him.I kept myself from my iniquity.
25. Therefore the Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,According to my cleanness in his eyesight.
26. With the merciful you will show yourself merciful.With the perfect man you will show yourself perfect.
