21. The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
22. For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23. For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
24. I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from my iniquity.
25. Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye-sight.
26. With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt show thyself upright.
27. With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt contend.
28. And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thy eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.
