God Vindicates the Righteous

20

The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousnes: according to the purenes of mine hands he recompensed me:

21

Because I kept the wayes of the Lord, and did not wickedly against my God.

22

For all his Lawes were before mee, and I did not cast away his commandements from mee.

23

I was vpright also with him, and haue kept me from my wickednes.

24

Therefore the Lord rewarded me according to my righteousnesse, and according to the purenes of mine hands in his sight.

25

With the godly thou wilt shewe thy selfe godly: with the vpright man thou wilt shew thy selfe vpright.

26

With the pure thou wilt shewe thy selfe pure, and with the froward thou wilt shewe thy selfe froward.

27

Thus thou wilt saue the poore people, and wilt cast downe the proude lookes.

28

Surely thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God wil lighten my darkenes.

29

For by thee I haue broken through an hoste, and by my God I haue leaped ouer a wall.

30

The way of God is vncorrupt: the worde of the Lord is tried in the fire: he is a shield to all that trust in him.
