22:21. The Lord will reward me according to my justice: and according to
the cleanness of my hands he will render to me.

departed from my God.

not removed from me.

iniquity.

according to the cleanness of my hands in the sight of his eyes.

perfect.

wilt be perverted.
22:28. And the poor people thou wilt save: and with thy eyes thou shalt
humble the haughty.
22:29. For thou art my lamp O Lord: and thou, O Lord, wilt enlighten my
darkness.
22:30. For in thee I will run girded: in my God I will leap over the
wall.
22:31. God, his way is immaculate, the word of the Lord is tried by
fire: he is the shield of all that trust in him.
22:32. Who is God but the Lord: and who is strong but our God?
22:33. God who hath girded me with strength, and made my way perfect.
22:34. Making my feet like the feet of harts, and setting me upon my
high places.
22:35. He teacheth my hands to war: and maketh my arms like a bow of
brass.

hath multiplied me.
22:37. Thou shalt enlarge my steps under me: and my ankles shall not
fail.
22:38. I will pursue after my enemies, and crush them: and will not
return again till I consume them.
22:39. I will consume them and break them in pieces, so that they shall
not rise: they shall fall under my feet.
22:40. Thou hast girded me with strength to battle: thou hast made them
that resisted me to bow under me.
22:41. My enemies thou hast made to turn their back to me: them that
hated me, and I shall destroy them.
22:42. They shall cry, and there shall be none to save: to the Lord, and
he shall not hear them.
22:43. I shall beat them as small as the dust of the earth: I shall
crush them and spread them abroad like the mire of the streets.
22:44. Thou wilt save me from the contradictions of my people: thou wilt
keep me to be the head of the Gentiles: the people which I know not,
shall serve me,
22:45.
