Psalm 18:25–27

With the merciful you show yourself merciful;

with the blameless man you show yourself blameless;

with the purified you show yourself pure;

and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.

For you save a humble people,

but the haughty eyes you bring down.

With the faithful

you prove yourself faithful,

with the blameless

you prove yourself blameless,

with the pure

you prove yourself pure,

but with the crooked

you prove yourself shrewd.

For you rescue an oppressed people,

but you humble those with haughty eyes.

To the faithful you show yourself faithful;

to those with integrity you show integrity.

To the pure you show yourself pure,

but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd.

You rescue the humble,

but you humiliate the proud.

To the loyal you show yourself loyal.

To the blameless you show yourself blameless.

To the pure you show yourself pure.

but to the wicked you show yourself shrewd.

For you deliver humble people,

but haughty eyes you humiliate.

With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful;

With an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;

With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure;

And with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.

For thou wilt save the afflicted people;

But wilt bring down high looks.
