Psalms 18:24
22 For all His ordinances are before me; I have not disregarded His statutes.
23 And I have been blameless before Him and kept myself from iniquity.
So the LORD has repaid me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.
25 To the faithful You show Yourself faithful, to the blameless You show Yourself blameless;
26 to the pure You show Yourself pure, but to the crooked You show Yourself shrewd.
