24. Therefore has the Lord recompensed me according to my righteousness (my uprightness and right standing with Him), according to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.
25. With the kind and merciful You will show Yourself kind and merciful, with an upright man You will show Yourself upright,
26. With the pure You will show Yourself pure, and with the perverse You will show Yourself contrary.
27. For You deliver an afflicted and humble people but will bring down those with haughty looks.
28. For You cause my lamp to be lighted and to shine; the Lord my God illumines my darkness.
29. For by You I can run through a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall.
30. As for God, His way is perfect! The word of the Lord is tested and tried; He is a shield to all those who take refuge and put their trust in Him.
31. For who is God except the Lord? Or who is the Rock save our God,
32. The God who girds me with strength and makes my way perfect?
33. He makes my feet like hinds' feet [able to stand firmly or make progress on the dangerous heights of testing and trouble]; He sets me securely upon my high places.
34. He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
