21. For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22. For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
23. I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.
24. Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
25. With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt show thyself upright;
26. With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt contend.
27. For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
28. For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
29. For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
