2 Samuel 22:21-40
-
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.
-
35 He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
-
36 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.
-
37 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.
-
38 I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
-
39 And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.
-
40 For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.
