Psalm 18:27-29
New Catholic Bible

27 to the pure, you show yourself to be pure;
    but to the perverse,[a] you show yourself to be shrewd.
28 For you save the humble,
    but you bring down the haughty.
29 You, O Lord, are light for my lamp;[b]
    O my God, you make my darkness turn to light.

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 18:27 God treats people the way they treat him and others. The perverse: those who stray from the straight way of the Lord. Show yourself to be shrewd: the Lord counters the evil acts of the wicked, one after the other.
  2. Psalm 18:29 Light for my lamp: a figure of life and happiness (see 1 Ki 11:36). Light: see note on Ps 27:1.
