Psalm 18:24-26

Living Bible

²⁴ And so the Lord has paid me with his blessings, for I have done what is right, and I am pure of heart. This he knows, for he watches my every step.

²⁵ Lord, how merciful you are to those who are merciful. And you do not punish those who run from evil.^{[a] 26} You give blessings to the pure but pain to those who leave your paths.
