26 “To the faithful you show yourself faithful,

to the blameless you show yourself blameless,

27 to the pure you show yourself pure,

but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.

28 You save the humble,

but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them low.

29 You, Lord, are my lamp;

the Lord turns my darkness into light.

30 With your help I can advance against a troop;

with my God I can scale a wall.

26 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, And with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright. 27 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; And with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury. 28 And the afflicted people thou wilt save: But thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down. 29 For thou art my lamp, O Lord: And the Lord will lighten my darkness. 30 For by thee I have run through a troop: By my God have I leaped over a wall.

26 “To the faithful you show yourself faithful;

to those with integrity you show integrity.

27 To the pure you show yourself pure,

but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd.

28 You rescue the humble,

but your eyes watch the proud and humiliate them.

29 O Lord, you are my lamp.

The Lord lights up my darkness.

30 In your strength I can crush an army;

with my God I can scale any wall.

26 “With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful;

With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless;

27 With the pure You will show Yourself pure;

And with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd.

28 You will save the humble people;

But Your eyes are on the haughty, that You may bring them down.

29 “For You are my lamp, O Lord;

The Lord shall enlighten my darkness.

30 For by You I can run against a troop;

By my God I can leap over a wall.

26 “Lord, you are loyal to those who are loyal,

and you are good to those who are good.

27 You are pure to those who are pure,

but you are against those who are evil.

28 You save the humble,

but you bring down those who are proud.

29 Lord, you give light to my lamp.

The Lord brightens the darkness around me.

30 With your help I can attack an army.

With God’s help I can jump over a wall.

26 With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful;

With the perfect man thou wilt show thyself perfect;

27 With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure;

And with the perverse thou wilt show thyself froward.

28 And the afflicted people thou wilt save;

But thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.

29 For thou art my lamp, O Jehovah;

And Jehovah will lighten my darkness.

30 For by thee I run upon a troop;

By my God do I leap over a wall.

26 With the gracious thou dost shew thyself gracious; With the upright man thou dost shew thyself upright; 27 With the pure thou dost shew thyself pure; And with the perverse thou dost shew thyself contrary. 28 And the afflicted people thou dost save; And thine eyes are upon the haughty, whom thou bringest down. 29 For thou art my lamp, Jehovah; And Jehovah enlighteneth my darkness. 30 For by thee I have run through a troop; By my God have I leaped over a wall.

26 ⸤In dealing⸥ with faithful people you are faithful, 

with innocent warriors you are innocent, 

27 with pure people you are pure. 

⸤In dealing⸥ with devious people you are clever. 

28 You save humble people, 

but your eyes bring down arrogant people. 

29 O Lord, you are my lamp. 

The Lord turns my darkness into light. 

30 With you I can attack a line of soldiers. 

With my God I can break through barricades. 

26 With the faithful

You prove Yourself faithful;

with the blameless man

You prove Yourself blameless;

27 with the pure

You prove Yourself pure,

but with the crooked

You prove Yourself shrewd.

28 You rescue an afflicted people,

but Your eyes are set against the proud—

You humble them.

29 Lord, You are my lamp;

the Lord illuminates my darkness.

30 With You I can attack a barrier,

and with my God I can leap over a wall.

26 With the loyal you show yourself loyal;

with the blameless you show yourself blameless;

27 with the pure you show yourself pure,

and with the crooked you show yourself perverse.

28 You deliver a humble people,

but your eyes are upon the haughty to bring them down.

29 Indeed, you are my lamp, O Lord,

the Lord lightens my darkness.

30 By you I can crush a troop,

and by my God I can leap over a wall.

26 With the loyal, you act as loyal,

and with the blameless, you show yourself blameless.

27 With the pure, you show yourself pure,

but with the crooked, you appear as a fool.

28 Humble people you will deliver,

but your eyes are on the haughty, whom you bring down.

29 For you, O Yahweh are my lamp,

and Yahweh lightens my darkness.

30 For by you I can run a raid;

by my God I can leap over a wall.

26 “Lord, to those who are faithful you show that you are faithful.

To those who are without blame you show that you are without blame.

27 To those who are pure you show that you are pure.

But to those whose paths are crooked you show that you are clever.

28 You save those who aren’t proud.

But you watch the proud to bring them down.

29 Lord, you are my lamp.

You bring light into my darkness.

30 With your help I can attack a troop of soldiers.

With the help of my God I can climb over a wall.

26 “With the kind You show Yourself kind,

With the blameless You show Yourself blameless;

27 With the pure You show Yourself pure,

And with the perverted You show Yourself astute.

28 “And You save an afflicted people;

But Your eyes are on the haughty whom You abase.

29 “For You are my lamp, O Lord;

And the Lord illumines my darkness.

30 “For by You I can run upon a troop;

By my God I can leap over a wall.
