23 Indeed, I have kept all His ordinances in mind and have not disregarded His statutes.
24 I was blameless before Himand kept myself from sinning.
25 So the Lord repaid meaccording to my righteousness,according to my cleanness in His sight.
26 With the faithfulYou prove Yourself faithful;with the blameless manYou prove Yourself blameless;
27 with the pureYou prove Yourself pure,but with the crookedYou prove Yourself shrewd.
28 You rescue an afflicted people, but Your eyes are set against the proud —You humble them.
29 Lord, You are my lamp;the Lord illuminates my darkness.
