God Vindicates the Righteous

20

The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness; He has repaid me according to the cleanness of my hands.

21

For I have kept the ways of the LORD and have not wickedly departed from my God.

22

For all His ordinances are before me; I have not disregarded His statutes.

23

And I have been blameless before Him and kept myself from iniquity.

24

So the LORD has repaid me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.

25

To the faithful You show Yourself faithful, to the blameless You show Yourself blameless;

26

to the pure You show Yourself pure, but to the crooked You show Yourself shrewd.

27

For You save an afflicted people, but You humble those with haughty eyes.

28

For You, O LORD, light my lamp; my God lights up my darkness.

29

For in You I can charge an army, and with my God I can scale a wall.

30

As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
