Therefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in His eyes. a
26
"With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful; With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless;
27
With the pure You will show Yourself pure; And with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd.
28
You will save the humble people; But Your eyes are on the haughty, that You may bring them down.
29
"For You are my lamp, O Lord; The Lord shall enlighten my darkness.
30
For by You I can run against a troop; By my God I can leap over a wall.
31
As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
32
"For who is God, except the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God?
33
God is my strength and power, b And He makes my c way perfect.
34
He makes my d feet like the feet of deer, And sets me on my high places.
35
He teaches my hands to make war, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
36
"You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your gentleness has made me great.
37
You enlarged my path under me; So my feet did not slip.
38
"I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them; Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed.
