27 To the pure you show yourself pure, but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd.

27 You're good to good people, you shrewdly work around the bad ones.

27 with the pure You prove Yourself pure, but with the crooked You prove Yourself shrewd.

froward thou wilt show thyself unsavoury.] (See Gill on Psalms 18:26).

Taken from John Gill's Exposition of the Bible

25 The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in his sight.

26 “To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless,

27 to the pure you show yourself pure, but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.

28 You save the humble, but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them low.

29 You, LORD, are my lamp; the LORD turns my darkness into light.
