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.
