Psalms 18:24 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 18:24

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.

27 For You will save the humble people,
But will bring down ^ahaughty looks.

28 ^aFor You will light my lamp;
The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.
