Psalms 18:23 ASV

²¹  For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God.

²²  For all his ordinances were before me, And I put not away his statutes from me.

²³  I was also perfect with him, And I kept myself from mine iniquity.

²⁴  Therefore hath Jehovah recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

²⁵  With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; With the perfect man thou wilt show thyself perfect;
