Psalms 18:20-29 World English Bible (WEB)

20. Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.

21. For I have kept the ways of Yahweh, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

22. For all his ordinances were before me. I didn’t put away his statutes from me.

23. I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity.

24. Therefore Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

25. With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man, you will show yourself perfect.

26. With the pure, you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.

27. For you will save the afflicted people, but the haughty eyes you will bring down.

28. For you will light my lamp, Yahweh. My God will light up my darkness.

29. For by you, I advance through a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.
