22 For I have kept the ways of Yahweh, And have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 For all his ordinances were before me; As for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
24 I was also perfect toward him; I kept myself from my iniquity.
25 Therefore has Yahweh recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his eyesight.
26 With the merciful you will show yourself merciful; With the perfect man you will show yourself perfect;
27 With the pure you will show yourself pure; With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.
28 The afflicted people you will save; But your eyes are on the haughty, that you may bring them down.
