I have been learning my way through the 1650 Scottish psalter, and I could use some help with some of the wording. I have found the Trinitarian Bible Society word list very helpful: http://www.trinitarianbiblesociety.org/site/articles/bwl.pdf
I have a question about Psalm 18:26. In the psalter, it reads "Pure to the pure, froward thou kyth'st unto the froward wight." In the KJV, it reads "With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward."
Based on the TBS article, "froward" means "perverse, contrary, self-willed." But what does "wight" mean? What does "kyth'st" stand for and mean?
On a different note, what does this verse mean? How does God show Himself froward to the froward? Thanks!
