The LORD dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he rewarded me. For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God. For all his rules were before me, and his statutes I did not put away from me. I was blameless before him, and I kept myself from my guilt. So the LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.

You have not rewarded me according to my righteousness but according to yours. My salvation is according to Your cleanliness, not mine. I have not kept Your ways, I have kept mine. I put Your statutes away from me, Your rules were not before me. I was not blameless before You, I did not keep myself from my guilt.

Yet You in Your great mercy and love, according to Your Grace, rewarded me. You cleansed me and made me righteous in Your sight. You restored me and lifted me out of my guilt. I am Yours, I owe all that I am to You and Your love. Praise You, my Lord and Master.
