2 Samuel 22:18–28

18 He rescuedg me from my powerful enemy,

from my foes, who were too strong for me.

19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,

but the Lord was my support.h

20 He brought me out into a spaciousi place;

he rescuedj me because he delightedk in me.l

21 “The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness;m

according to the cleannessn of my handso he has rewarded me.

22 For I have keptp the ways of the Lord;

I am not guilty of turning from my God.

23 All his laws are before me;q

I have not turnedr away from his decrees.

24 I have been blamelesss before him

and have kept myself from sin.

25 The Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,t

according to my cleannessf in his sight.

26 “To the faithful you show yourself faithful,

to the blameless you show yourself blameless,

27 to the pureu you show yourself pure,

but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.v

28 You save the humble,w

but your eyes are on the haughtyx to bring them low.y
