Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 18:26

26. With the pure thou wilt shew thy self pure , and with the froward thou wilst shew thy self froward .

Free from the least mixture or appearance of unrighteousness, or unfaithfulness, or unkindness, or simply and sincerely such as thou usest, and hast promised to be to them that are such: for Purity is oft put for Sincerity.

Or, perv[illegible: 1+ letters]rse, (i. e.) Thou wilst Cross him and Walk contrary to him, as thou hast threatned, Levit. 26. 23, 24. See also, Prov. 3. 34, Man's perversness here is moral and sinful, but God's perversness is judicial and penal.
