Exegesis
The Hitpael imperfect verbs titbarar {תִּתְבָּרָ֑ר | tit-ba-rar} and tittapal {תִּתַּפָּֽל | tit-ta-pal} are reflexive, indicating that the LORD mirrors the moral character of individuals. The chiastic structure highlights reciprocal response: purity elicits purity and crookedness elicits distortion. The English translations preserve the reflexive ‘show Yourself’ and retain the Hebrew im-construction to reflect the parallel form.
Root and etymology
“to clarify, purify”
In context — Psalm 18:26
With the pure You show Yourself pure, and with the crooked You show Yourself twisted.
