Psalms 18:20-27

18:20

The LORD
<03068>

rewarded
<01580> (8799)

me according to my righteousness
<06664>_;

according to the cleanness
<01252>

of my hands
<03027>

hath he recompensed
<07725> (8686)

me.

18:21

For I have kept
<08104> (8804)

the ways
<01870>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and have not wickedly departed
<07561> (8804)

from my God
<0430>_.

18:22

For all his judgments
<04941>

[were] before me, and I did not put away
<05493> (8686)

his statutes
<02708>

from me.

18:23

I was also upright
<08549>

before him, and I kept
<08104> (8691)

myself from mine iniquity
<05771>_.

{before: Heb. with}

18:24

Therefore hath the LORD
<03068>

recompensed
<07725> (8686)

me according to my righteousness
<06664>_,

according to the cleanness
<01252>

of my hands
<03027>

in his eyesight
<05869>_.

{in...: Heb. before his eyes}

18:25

With the merciful
<02623>

thou wilt shew thyself merciful
<02616> (8691)_;

with an upright
<08549>

man
<01399>

thou wilt shew thyself upright
<08552> (8691)_;

18:26

With the pure
<01305> (8737)

thou wilt shew thyself pure
<01305> (8691)_;

and with the froward
<06141>

thou wilt shew thyself froward
<06617> (8691)_.

{shew thyself froward: or, wrestle}

18:27

For thou wilt save
<03467> (8686)

the afflicted
<06041>

people
<05971>_;

but wilt bring down
<08213> (8686)

high
<07311> (8802)

looks
<05869>_.
