20. The Lord repaid me for my godly deeds;he rewarded my blameless behavior.
21. For I have obeyed the Lord’s commands;I have not rebelled against my God.
22. For I am aware of all his regulations,and I do not reject his rules.
23. I was innocent before him,and kept myself from sinning.
24. The Lord rewarded me for my godly deeds;he took notice of my blameless behavior.
25. You prove to be loyal to one who is faithful;you prove to be trustworthy to one who is innocent.
26. You prove to be reliable to one who is blameless,but you prove to be deceptive to one who is perverse.
27. For you deliver oppressed people,but you bring down those who have a proud look.
