For God is with the [consistently] righteous generation.

He that sitteth not by himself, but is lowly in his own eyes, and maketh much of them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth unto his neighbour, and disappointeth him not, though it were to his own hindrance.

According to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.
