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

23 I was also perfect before Him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.

24 Therefore Jehovah has given back to me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His eyes.

25 With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful; with a perfect man You will show Yourself perfect;

26 with the pure You will show Yourself pure; and with the crooked You will show Yourself twisted.
