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.

27 You save the humble

but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.

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.

27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people;

But wilt bring down high looks.

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.

27 You rescue the humble,

but you humiliate the proud.

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.

27 For You will save the humble people,

But will bring down haughty looks.

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.

27 You save the humble,

but you bring down those who are proud.

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.

27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people;

But the haughty eyes thou wilt bring down.

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. 27 For it is thou that savest the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes wilt thou bring down.

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. 

27 You save humble people, 

but you bring down a conceited look. 

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.

27 For You rescue an afflicted people,

but You humble those with haughty eyes.

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.

27 For you deliver a humble people,

but the haughty eyes you bring down.

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.

27 For you deliver humble people,

but haughty eyes you humiliate.

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.

27 You save those who aren’t proud.

But you bring down those whose eyes are proud.

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.

27 For You save an afflicted people,

But haughty eyes You abase.
