"With the pure You show Yourself pure,This is an interesting contrast. With several of the previous verses, it's all about God showing his positive qualities to those who already have those same positive qualities. Suddenly, here we see a different side of God. First, there's still the positive. The pure see purity. I do have to ask who is truly pure, when compared with God? All we could see would be a pale shadow of God's true purity.
And with the perverted You show Yourself astute.
But the second part is what got my attention. Obviously, God can't reflect a negative quality. But what's the reasoning between matching perverted with astute? Twisted and wise, how do those connect? The best I can think of is that God astuteness (is that a word?) is seen in how he identifies the perverted, and how he deals with them. They try to twist His good creation into things it shouldn't be, but He in his wisdom plans for this, and always has a path back to what is right.
