Psalms 18:23 WBT

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

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 hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.

²⁵  With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt show thyself upright;
