24. I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from my iniquity.
25. Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye-sight.
26. With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt show thyself upright.
27. With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt contend.
28. And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thy eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.
29. For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.
30. For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.
31. As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
32. For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?
33. God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.
34. He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my high places.
35. He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.
36. Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.
37. Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet have not slipped.
38. I have pursued my enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
39. And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they have fallen under my feet.
40. For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.
