Psalms 18:22 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 18:22

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;

26 With the pure You will show Yourself pure;
And ^awith the devious You will show Yourself shrewd.
