Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.
Therefore the Lord hath recompensed me according to my righteousness - a repetition of what he stated at the beginning of section III. (see the notes at 2 Samuel 22:21). In the intermediate verses he had described the manner in which he had performed his own part, and now he bears his testimony to the faithfulness with which Yahweh had fulfilled His. From this record of God's method of dealing with himself, he adverts to it as a general law in the divine administration, that God is in a certain sense to men precisely what they are to Him-meting out to every one the measure he metes to others, and leaving him to reap the fruit of his own doings.
