25 So the Lord repaid me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in His sight.

26 With the faithful You prove Yourself faithful; with the blameless man You prove Yourself blameless;

28 You rescue an afflicted people, but Your eyes are set against the proud- You humble them.

29 Lord, You are my lamp; the Lord illuminates my darkness.
