24I was also vpright before him: and haue kept my selfe from mine iniquitie. 25Therefore the Lord hath recompensed me, according to my righteousnesse: according to my cleannesse in his eye sight. 26With the merciful thou wilt shew thy selfe mercifull, and with the vpright man thou wilt shew thy selfe vpright. 27With the pure thou wilt shew thy selfe pure: and with the froward, thou wilt shew thy selfe vnsauoury. 28And the afflicted people thou wilt saue: but thine eyes are vpon the hautie, that thou mayest bring them downe.
