2 Samuel 22:21–40

²¹Jehovah recompenseth me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He doth return to me. ²²For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not done wickedly against my God. ²³For all His judgments are before me, As to His statutes, I turn not from them. ²⁴And I am perfect before Him, And I keep myself from mine iniquity. ²⁵And Jehovah returneth to me, According to my righteousness, According to my cleanness before His eyes. ²⁶With the kind Thou shewest Thyself kind, With the perfect man Thou shewest Thyself perfect, ²⁷With the pure Thou shewest Thyself pure, And with the perverse Thou shewest Thyself a wrestler. ²⁸And the poor people Thou dost save, And Thine eyes on the high causest to fall. ²⁹For Thou art my lamp, O Jehovah, And Jehovah doth lighten my darkness. ³⁰For by Thee I run—a troop, By my God I leap a wall. ³¹God! Perfect is His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield He is to all those trusting in Him. ³²For who is God save Jehovah? And who a Rock save our God? ³³God—my bulwark, my strength, And He maketh perfect my way; ³⁴Making my feet like hinds, And on my high places causeth me to stand, ³⁵Teaching my hands for battle, And brought down was a bow of brass by mine arms, ³⁶And Thou givest to me the shield of Thy salvation, And Thy lowliness maketh me great. ³⁷Thou enlargest my step under me, And mine ankles have not slidden. ³⁸I pursue mine enemies and destroy them, And I turn not till they are consumed. ³⁹And I consume them, and smite them, And they rise not, and fall under my feet. ⁴⁰And Thou girdest me with strength for battle, Thou causest my withstanders to bow under me.
