[verse 21] But euermore I haue respect, to his law and decree: His statutes and commaundementes, I cast not out fro me. [verse 22] But pure and cleane and vncorrupt, appearde afore his face: And did refrayne from wickednes, and sinne in any case.

[verse 23] The Lorde therfore will me reward, as I haue done aright: And to the cleannes of my handes, appearing in hys sight. [verse 24] For Lorde with him that holy is, wilt thou be holy to: And with the good and vertuous men, right vertuously wilt doo.

[verse 25] And to the louing and elect, thy loue thou wilt reserue,

And thou wilt vse the wicked men, as wicked men deserue. [verse 26] For thou dost saue the simple folke, In trouble when they lye: And dost bring downe the countenance of them that loke full hie.

[verse 27] The Lorde will light my candell so, that it shall shine full bryght: The Lorde my God will make also, my darknes to be light. [verse 28] For by thy helpe an host of men, disconfite (Lorde) I shall: By thee I scale and ouerleape, the strength of any wall.

[verse 29] Unspotted are the wayes of God, his worde is purely tryed: He is a sure defence to suche, as in his faith abide, [verse 30] For who is God? except the Lorde, for other there is none: Or els who is omnipotent, sauing our God alone?
