New King James Version

Psalms 18:22-29 New King James Version (NKJV)

22. For all His judgments were before me,And I did not put away His statutes from me.

23. I was also blameless before Him,And I kept myself from my iniquity.

24. Therefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness,According to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.

25. With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful;With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless;

26. With the pure You will show Yourself pure;And with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd.

27. For You will save the humble people,But will bring down haughty looks.

28. For You will light my lamp;The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.

29. For by You I can run against a troop,By my God I can leap over a wall.
