Tehillim 18:23-32

Orthodox Jewish Bible

^23 (24) I was also tamim (blameless) before Him, and I kept myself from mine avon.

^24 (25) Therefore hath Hashem recompensed me according to my tzedek, according to the cleanness of my hands before His eyes.

^25 (26) With the chasid Thou wilt show Thyself chesed; with a perfect man Thou wilt show Thyself perfect;

^26 (27) With the pure Thou wilt show Thyself pure; and with the ikesh (crooked, perverted, false) Thou wilt show Thyself shrewd.

^27 (28) For Thou wilt save the ani (poor); but wilt bring down low haughty looks.

^28 (29) For Thou wilt light my ner; Hashem Elohai will enlighten my choshech.

^29 (30) For by Thee have I scattered a troop; and by Elohai have I leaped over a wall.

^30 (31) As for El, His derech is tamim (perfect); the word of Hashem is tzerufah (tested and proved flawless, inerrant); He is a mogen to all those that take refuge in Him.

^31 (32) For who is Elohim besides Hashem? Or who is Tzur but Eloheinu?

^32 (33) It is El that armeth me with chayil, and maketh my derech tamim (perfect).
