25 Remunerou-me, portanto, o SENHOR conforme minha justiça, E conforme minha limpeza diante de seus olhos.

26 Com o bom és benigno, E com o íntegro te mostras íntegro;

27 Limpo és para com o limpo, Mas com o perverso és rígido.

28 E tu salvas ao povo humilde; Mas teus olhos sobre os altivos, para abatê-los.

29 Porque tu és minha lâmpada, ó SENHOR; o SENHOR dá luz às minhas trevas.
