New International Version NIV
20 God made my life complete when I placed all the pieces before him. When I got my act together, he gave me a fresh start.
20
The LORD has dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.
21 Now I'm alert to God's ways; I don't take God for granted.
21
For I have kept the ways of the LORD; I am not guilty of turning from my God.
22 Every day I review the ways he works; I try not to miss a trick.
22
All his laws are before me; I have not turned away from his decrees.
23 I feel put back together, and I'm watching my step.
23
I have been blameless before him and have kept myself from sin.
24 God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes.
24
The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
