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.
25. With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; with a perfect man thou wilt show thyself perfect;
26. with the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the perverse thou wilt show thyself adversary.
27. Therefore thou wilt save the humble people; but wilt bring down high looks.
28. For thou wilt light my fire: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.
29. For with thee I have scattered armies; and in my God I have overcome walled defenses.
30. As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is precise: a shield to all those that wait in him.
31. For who is God except the Lord? or who is a refuge except our God?
32. It is God that girds me with strength and makes my way perfect.
33. He makes my feet like hinds’ feet and sets me upon my high places.
34. He trains my hands for the battle, so that a bow of bronze shall be broken by my arms.
35. In the same manner thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand will hold me up, and thy meekness shall multiply me.
36. Thou shall enlarge my steps under me, and my knees shall not tremble.
37. I shall pursue my enemies and overtake them: neither shall I turn again until they are consumed.
38. I shall smite them, and they will not be able to rise: they shall fall under my feet.
