New International Reader's Version

Psalm 18:24-29 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

24. The Lord has rewarded me for doing what is right. He has rewarded me because I haven't done anything wrong.

25. Lord, to those who are faithful you show that you are faithful. To those who are without blame you show that you are without blame.

26. To those who are pure you show that you are pure. But to those whose paths are crooked you show that you are clever.

27. You save those who aren't proud. But you bring down those whose eyes are proud.

28. Lord, you keep the lamp of my life burning brightly. You are my God. You bring light into my darkness.

29. With your help I can attack a troop of soldiers. With the help of my God I can climb over a wall.
