2 Samuel 22:27
to the pure You show Yourself pure, but to the crooked You show Yourself shrewd.
BSB
ASV
With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; And with the perverse thou wilt show thyself froward.
KJV
With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury.
Even the merciful need mercy; and they shall obtain it. [2.] God's uprightness, his justice and faithfulness, will be the joy of those that are upright, just, and faithful, both towards God and man. [3.] God's purity and holiness will be the joy of those that are pure and holy, who therefore give thanks at the remembrance thereof.
