25 To the faithful you show yourself faithful,

to the blameless you show yourself blameless,

26 to the pure you show yourself pure,

but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.

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.

25 To the faithful you show yourself faithful;

to those with integrity you show integrity.

26 To the pure you show yourself pure,

but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd.

25 With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful;

With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless;

26 With the pure You will show Yourself pure;

And with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd.

25 Lord, you are loyal to those who are loyal,

and you are good to those who are good.

26 You are pure to those who are pure,

but you are against those who are bad.

25 With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful;

With the perfect man thou wilt show thyself perfect;

26 With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure;

And with the perverse thou wilt show thyself froward.

25 With the gracious thou dost shew thyself gracious; with the upright man thou dost shew thyself upright; 26 With the pure thou dost shew thyself pure; and with the perverse thou dost shew thyself contrary.

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

with innocent people you are innocent, 

26 with pure people you are pure. 

⸤In dealing⸥ with devious people you are clever. 

25 With the faithful

You prove Yourself faithful;

with the blameless man

You prove Yourself blameless;

26 with the pure

You prove Yourself pure,

but with the crooked

You prove Yourself shrewd.

25 With the loyal you show yourself loyal;

with the blameless you show yourself blameless;

26 with the pure you show yourself pure;

and with the crooked you show yourself perverse.

25 To the loyal you show yourself loyal.

To the blameless you show yourself blameless.

26 To the pure you show yourself pure.

but to the wicked you show yourself shrewd.

25 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.

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

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

25 With the kind You show Yourself kind;

With the blameless You show Yourself blameless;

26 With the pure You show Yourself pure,

And with the crooked You show Yourself astute.
