21. Because I have kept the ways of the Lord and did not become wicked departing in apostasy from my God.
22. For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
23. I was perfect 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 before his eyes.
