2 Samuel 22:16-34
-
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.
-
28 And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.
-
29 For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.
-
30 For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.
-
31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
-
32 For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?
-
33 God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.
-
34 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my high places.
