20 The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; || according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recom- | pensed | me. 21 For I have kept the ways' of the | Lord, || and have not wickedly de- parted from my | God.

22 For all his judgments were be- | fore me, || and I did not put a-way his statutes from me.

23 I was also up- | right be- | fore him, || and I kept my- | self from | mine iniquity.

24 Therefore hath the Lord recompensed me according to my righteousness, || according to the cleanness of my | hands | in his | eyesight. 25 With the merciful thou wilt | shew thy' self merciful; || with an upright man thou wilt | shew thy' self | upright;

26 With the pure thou wilt shew thy' self | pure; || and with the froward thou wilt | shew thy' self froward.

29 For by thee I have run through a troop; || and by my God have I leaped | over a wall.

30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is | tried: || he is a buckler to all those that | trust in | him.
