◄ Psalm 18:24 ►

So the LORD has repaid me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.

Context

24Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness,
According to the cleanness of my hands in His eyes.

25With the kind You show Yourself kind;
With the blameless You show Yourself blameless;

26With the pure You show Yourself pure,
And with the crooked You show Yourself astute.

27For You save an afflicted people,
But haughty eyes You abase.

28For You light my lamp;
The LORD my God illumines my darkness.

29For by You I can run upon a troop;
And by my God I can leap over a wall.

30As for God, His way is blameless;
The word of the LORD is tried;
He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.

31For who is God, but the LORD?
And who is a rock, except our God,

32The God who girds me with strength
And makes my way blameless?

33He makes my feet like hinds’ feet,
And sets me upon my high places.

34He trains my hands for battle,
So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

35You have also given me the shield of Your salvation,
And Your right hand upholds me;
And Your gentleness makes me great.

36You enlarge my steps under me,
And my feet have not slipped.

37I pursued my enemies and overtook them,
And I did not turn back until they were consumed.

38I shattered them, so that they were not able to rise;
They fell under my feet.

39For You have girded me with strength for battle;
You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

40You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me,
And I destroyed those who hated me.

41They cried for help, but there was none to save,
Even to the LORD, but He did not answer them.

42Then I beat them fine as the dust before the wind;
I emptied them out as the mire of the streets.

43You have delivered me from the contentions of the people;
You have placed me as head of the nations;
A people whom I have not known serve me.

44As soon as they hear, they obey me;
Foreigners submit to me.

45Foreigners fade away,
And come trembling out of their fortresses.

46The LORD lives, and blessed be my rock;
And exalted be the God of my salvation,

47The God who executes vengeance for me,
And subdues peoples under me.

48He delivers me from my enemies;
Surely You lift me above those who rise up against me;
You rescue me from the violent man.

49Therefore I will give thanks to You among the nations, O LORD,
And I will sing praises to Your name.

50He gives great deliverance to His king,
And shows lovingkindness to His anointed,
To David and his descendants forever.
