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 has the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
25 With the merciful you will show yourself merciful; with an upright man you will show yourself upright;
26 With the pure you will show yourself pure; and with the devious you will show yourself shrewd.
27 For you will save the humble people; but will bring down haughty looks.
28 For you will light my lamp: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
