24 J’ai été sans reproche envers lui, Et je me suis tenu en garde contre mon iniquité.

25 Aussi l’Éternel m’a rendu selon ma droiture, Selon ma pureté devant ses yeux.

26 Avec celui qui est bon tu te montres bon, Avec l’homme droit tu agis selon la droiture,

27 Avec celui qui est pur tu te montres pur, Et avec le pervers tu agis selon sa perversité.

28 Tu sauves le peuple qui s’humilie, Et de ton regard, tu abaisses les orgueilleux.
