²⁰ The Lord gives me the reward of my righteousness, because my hands are clean before him.

⁴ He who has clean hands and a true heart; whose desire has not gone out to foolish things, who has not taken a false oath.

²⁶ It was right for us to have such a high priest, one who is holy and without evil, doing no wrong, having no part with sinners, and made higher than the heavens:

⁸ Now the planter and the waterer are working for the same end: but they will have their separate rewards in the measure of their work.

⁴ So that your giving may be in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.

¹¹ The Lord has sent out word to the end of the earth, Say to the daughter of Zion, See, your saviour comes; those whom he has made free are with him, and those to whom he has given salvation go before him.

⁴ And I said, I have undergone weariness for nothing, I have given my strength for no purpose or profit: but still the Lord will take up my cause, and my God will give me my reward.

¹⁸ The sinner gets the payment of deceit; but his reward is certain who puts in the seed of righteousness.

¹¹ So that men will say, Truly there is a reward for righteousness; truly there is a God who is judge on the earth.

⁶ I will make my hands clean from sin; so will I go round your altar, O Lord;

²⁴ Because of this the Lord has given me the reward of my righteousness, because my hands are clean in his eyes.

⁸ The Lord will be judge of the peoples; give a decision for me, O Lord, because of my righteousness, and let my virtue have its reward.

³ O Lord my God, if I have done this; if my hands have done any wrong;

³⁰ He makes safe the man who is free from sin, and if your hands are clean, salvation will be yours.

¹⁹ And you have made clear to me how good you have been to me today: because, when the Lord gave me up into your hands, you did not put me to death.

²⁰ If a man comes across his hater, will he let him get away safe? so may you be rewarded by the Lord for what you have done for me today.

¹⁷ Now when David had said these words to Saul, Saul said, Is this your voice, David, my son? And Saul was overcome with weeping.

¹¹ Look! you have seen today how the Lord gave you up into my hands even now in the hollow of the rocks: and some would have had me put you to death, but I had pity on you: for I said, Never will my hand be lifted up against my lord, who has been marked with the holy oil.

¹² And see, my father, see the skirt of your robe in my hand: for the fact that I took off the skirt of your robe and did not put you to death is witness that I have no evil purpose, and I have done you no wrong, though you are waiting for my life to take it.

¹³ May the Lord be judge between me and you, and may the Lord give me my rights against you, but my hand will never be lifted up against you.
