22 For I have kept the ways of the Lordand have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 For all his rules were before me,and from his statutes I did not turn aside.
24 I was blameless before him,and I kept myself from guilt.
25 And the Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,according to my cleanness in his sight.
26 “With the merciful you show yourself merciful;with the blameless man you show yourself blameless;
27 with the purified you deal purely,and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.
28 You save a humble people, but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them down.
