pure
The expression the purified is a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who does the action, the context indicates that it is God. Alternate translation: [those who purify themselves] or [those who keep themselves pure]

Here David is speaking of people who deliberately do what is wrong as if they were physically crooked or bent. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [with those who do evil] or [with those who are dishonest]
