New International Version
20 The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness;(A)
according to the cleanness of my hands(B) he has rewarded me.(C)
21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord;(D)
I am not guilty of turning(E) from my God.
22 All his laws are before me;(F)

23 I have been blameless(G) before him
and have kept myself from sin.
24 The Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,(H)
according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
25 To the faithful(I) you show yourself faithful,(J)

my God turns my darkness into light.(P)
Psalm 18:20-28
King James Version
20 The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
24 Therefore hath the Lord recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.
27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
28 For thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.
