22. Indeed, I have kept all His ordinances in mind and have not disregarded His statutes.
23. I was blameless toward Him and kept myself from sinning.
24. So the Lord repaid meaccording to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.
25. With the faithfulYou prove Yourself faithful;with the blameless manYou prove Yourself blameless;
26. with the pureYou prove Yourself pure,but with the crookedYou prove Yourself shrewd.
27. For You rescue an afflicted people, but You humble those with haughty eyes.
28. Lord, You light my lamp;my God illuminates my darkness.
29. With You I can attack a barrier, and with my God I can leap over a wall.
30. God — His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is pure. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
31. For who is God besides Yahweh? And who is a rock? Only our God.
32. God — He clothes me with strength and makes my way perfect.
33. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer and sets me securely on the heights.
34. He trains my hands for war; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35. You have given me the shield of Your salvation;Your right hand upholds me, and Your humility exalts me.
36. You widen a place beneath me for my steps, and my ankles do not give way.
37. I pursue my enemies and overtake them;I do not turn back until they are wiped out.
38. I crush them, and they cannot get up;they fall beneath my feet.
39. You have clothed me with strength for battle; You subdue my adversaries beneath me.
40. You have made my enemies retreat before me; I annihilate those who hate me.
41. They cry for help, but there is no one to save them —they cry to the Lord, but He does not answer them.
