I was also perfect toward him. I kept myself from my iniquity.

Therefore Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his eyesight.

With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man you will show yourself perfect.

With the pure you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.

You will save the afflicted people, But your eyes are on the haughty, that you may bring them down.

David’s reign as king, his triumphs and failures, and God’s covenant with him.
