Exegesis
The concluding Hiphil verb yashiv {יָשִׁיב | yāšîḇ} ‘he returns’ with the suffix lî {לִֽי | lî} restates the divine recompense directed to the beneficiary. Hebrew parallelism here links ethical status directly to divine reward, a pattern preserved in both translations by mirroring the paired “according” clauses.
Root and etymology
g-ḥ-l
“glowing coal”
In context — 2 Samuel 22:21
The LORD has repaid me according to my righteousness ; according to the cleanness of my hands, He has rewarded me.
