Psalm 18:20

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

According to my righteousness he did me recompense, He me repaid according to my hands' pure innocence.

See the chapter Copy

Whose hands are clean, whose heart is pure, and unto vanity Who hath not lifted up his soul, nor sworn deceitfully.

So men shall say, The righteous man reward shall never miss: And verily upon the earth a God to judge there is.

Mine hands in innocence, O Lord, I'll wash and purify; So to thine holy altar go, and compass it will I:

After my righteousness the Lord hath recompensed me, After the cleanness of my hands appearing in his eye.

The Lord he shall the people judge: my judge, JEHOVAH, be, After my righteousness, and mine integrity in me.

O Lord my God, if it be so that I committed this; If it be so that in my hands iniquity there is:

O Lord, upon me mercy have, for trouble is on me: Mine eye, my belly, and my soul, with grief consumed be.

I in distress call'd on the Lord; the Lord did answer me: He in a large place did me set, from trouble made me free.
