Psalms 18:20-24 The Message (MSG)
GOD made my life complete when I placed all the pieces before him. When I got my act together, he gave me a fresh start. Now I’m alert to GOD’s ways; I don’t take God for granted. Every day I review the ways he works; I try not to miss a trick. I feel put back together, and I’m watching my step. GOD rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes.

Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
