2 Samuel 22:21–37

21 “The cLord rewarded me according to my righteousness;

According to the dcleanness of my hands

He has recompensed me.

22 For I have ekept the ways of the Lord,

And have not wickedly departed from my God.

23 For all His fjudgments were before me;

And as for His statutes, I did not depart from them.

24 I was also gblameless before Him,

And I kept myself from my iniquity.

25 Therefore hthe Lord has 5recompensed me according to my righteousness,

According to 6my cleanness in His eyes.

26 “With ithe merciful You will show Yourself merciful;

With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless;

27 With the pure You will show Yourself pure;

And jwith the devious You will show Yourself shrewd.

28 You will save the khumble 7people;

But Your eyes are on lthe haughty, that You may bring them down.

29 “For You are my mlamp, O Lord;

The Lord shall enlighten my darkness.

30 For by You I can run against a troop;

By my God I can leap over a nwall.

31 As for God, oHis way is perfect;

pThe word of the Lord is proven;

He is a shield to all who trust in Him.

32 “For qwho is God, except the Lord?

And who is a rock, except our God?

33 8God is my rstrength and power,

And He smakes 9my way tperfect.

34 He makes 1my feet ulike the feet of deer,

And vsets me on my high places.

35 He teaches my hands 2to make war,

So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

36 “You have also given me the shield of Your salvation;

Your gentleness has made me great.

37 You wenlarged my path under me;

So my feet did not slip.
