22. For all his rules were before me,and his statutes I did not put away from me.
23. I was blameless before him,and I kept myself from my guilt.
24. So the Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
25. With the merciful you show yourself merciful;with the blameless man you show yourself blameless;
26. with the purified you show yourself pure;and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.
27. For you save a humble people,but the haughty eyes you bring down.
