King James Version
"With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;"
— Psalms 18:25, King James Version
“With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; With the perfect man thou wilt show thyself perfect; ”
“With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man, you will show yourself perfect.”
“You prove to be loyal to one who is faithful; you prove to be trustworthy to one who is innocent.”
“On him who has mercy you will have mercy; to the upright you will be upright;”
“With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;”
For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
Therefore hath the Lord recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.
For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
For thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.
