22. For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23. For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
24. I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from my iniquity.
25. Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eyesight.
26. With the merciful you will show yourself merciful, and with the upright man you will show yourself upright.
