Psalms 18:20 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Psalms 18:20

18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
But the Lord was my support.

19 ^aHe also brought me out into a broad place;
He delivered me because He delighted in me.

20 ^aThe Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness;
According to the cleanness of my hands
He has recompensed me.

21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord,
And have not wickedly departed from my God.

22 For all His judgments were before me,
And I did not put away His statutes from me.

23 I was also blameless¹ before Him,
And I kept myself from my iniquity.

24 ^aTherefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness,
According to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.

25 ^aWith the merciful You will show Yourself merciful;
With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless;

Psalms 18:20-24

The statements of innocence, righteousness, etc., refer, doubtless, to his personal and official conduct and his purposes, during all the trials to which he was subjected in Saul's persecutions and Absalom's rebellions, as well as the various wars in which he had been engaged as the head and defender of God's Church and people.
