The light of faithfulness

21Yahweh has dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he has repaid me.

22For I have kept the ways of Yahweh, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

23For all his judgments were before me, and I did not turn away from his statutes.

24I was blameless before him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.

25And Yahweh repaid me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness before his eyes.

26With the faithful you show yourself faithful; with the blameless warrior you show yourself blameless.

27With the pure you show yourself pure, but with the crooked you show yourself twisted.

28You save an afflicted people, but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them low.

29For you are my lamp, O Yahweh, and Yahweh lights up my darkness.

30For by you I can run against a troop; by my God I can leap over a wall.

31As for God, his way is blameless; the word of Yahweh is proven; he is a shield to all who take refuge in him.
