21. “The Lord dealt with me according to my righteousness;according to the cleanness of my hands he rewarded me.
22. For I have kept the ways of the Lordand have not wickedly departed from my God.
23. For all his rules were before me,and from his statutes I did not turn aside.
24. I was blameless before him,and I kept myself from guilt.
25. And the Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,according to my cleanness in his sight.
26. “With the merciful you show yourself merciful;with the blameless man you show yourself blameless;
27. with the purified you deal purely,and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.
28. You save a humble people, but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them down.
29. For you are my lamp, O Lord,and my God lightens my darkness.
