2 Samuel 22:16-27
-
16 And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
-
17 He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;
-
18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
-
19 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
-
20 He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
-
21 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
-
22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
-
23 For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
-
24 I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity.
-
25 Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.
-
26 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright.
-
27 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury.
