Psalm 18 — Psalms 18:20–27

Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness;
According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

For I have kept the ways of Jehovah,
And have not wickedly departed from my God.

For all his ordinances were before me,
And I put not away his statutes from me.

I was also perfect with him,
And I kept myself from mine iniquity.

Therefore hath Jehovah recompensed me according to my righteousness,
According to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful;
With the perfect man thou wilt show thyself perfect;

With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure;
And with the perverse thou wilt show thyself froward.

For thou wilt save the afflicted people;
But the haughty eyes thou wilt bring down.
