2 Samuel 22:21

“The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.] (See Gill on “<191820>Psalm 18:20”).”

“22:21-30 David’s divine rescue and success were related to his own obedient walk with God. God honors those who order their lives in a way that pleases him (see also Lev 26:1-13; Deut 28:1-14; Ps 1).”

“rewarded: Sa2 22:25; Sa1 26:23; Kg1 8:32; Psa 7:3, Psa 7:4, Psa 7:8, Psa 18:20-25, Psa 19:11; Co1 15:58 cleanness: Job 17:9; Psa 24:4; Jam 4:8 2 Kings (2 Samuel) 22:22”

“21 Jehovah rendered to me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands He recompensed me. 22 For I have observed the ways of Jehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God. 23 For all His rights are before my eyes; And His statutes,-I do not depart from them. 24 And I was innocent towards Him, And kept myself from mine iniquity. גּמל signifies to do to a person good or evil, like the Greek εὖ and κακῶς πράττειν τινά.
