2 Samuel 22:24 ASV

²²  For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God.

²³  For all his ordinances were before me; And as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.

²⁴  I was also perfect toward him; And I kept myself from mine iniquity.

²⁵  Therefore hath Jehovah recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his eyesight.

²⁶  With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; With the perfect man thou wilt show thyself perfect;
