20 God rewarded me after my righteous dealyng: accordyng to the cleannesse of myne handes he recompensed me. 21 Because I had kept the wayes of God: and had not wickedly shronke from my God. 22 For all his lawes were before me: and I reiected none of his commaundementes from me. 23 And I was sounde & pure towardes hym: and I was weery lest I shoulde offende hym with my wickednesse. 24 Therfore hath God rewarded me after my righteous dealyng: and accordyng to my cleannesse of my handes in his syght. 25 With the holy thou wylt be holy: with a perfect man thou wylt be perfect. 26 With the cleane thou wylt be cleane: and with the frowarde thou wylt be frowarde. 27 For thou hast saued the people oppressed: and thou hast brought downe the hygh lokes of the proude. 28 Thou also hast lyghtened my candell: God my Lorde hath made my darknesse to be lyght.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Therefore hath the Lord recompensed me according to my righteousness,.... Having proved and supported this proposition by the above reasons, it is repeated, for confirmation's sake;

according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight; this phrase, "in his eyesight", is here added, to show that the righteousness of Christ was clean, pure, and spotless in the sight of God; in the eye of divine justice: hence those that are clothed with it are holy and unblamable, and irreprovable in his sight, Colossians 1:22.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Therefore hath the Lord recompensed me - By delivering me from my enemies. The divine interpositions in his behalf had been of the nature of a reward or recompense.

According to my righteousness - As if I were righteous; or, his acts of intervention have been such as are appropriate to a righteous life. The psalmist does not say that it was on account of his righteousness as if he had merited the favor of God, but that the interpositions in his behalf had been such as to show that God regarded him as righteous.

According to the cleanness of my hands - See the note at Psalms 18:20.

In his eyesight - Margin, as in Hebrew, before his eyes. The idea is that God saw that he was upright.
