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.
