2 Samuel 22:22-31

New American Standard Bible

^22 (A)For I have kept the ways of the Lord,
And have not acted wickedly against my God.
^23 (B)For all His ordinances were before me,
And as for His statutes, I did not deviate from ^[a]them.
^24 (C)I was also ^[b]blameless toward Him,
And I have kept myself from my wrongdoing.
^25 (D)So the Lord has repaid me in accordance with my righteousness,
In accordance with my cleanliness before His eyes.
^26 (E)With the one who is faithful You show Yourself faithful,
With the ^[c]blameless one You prove Yourself ^[d]blameless;
^27 (F)With the one who is pure You show Yourself pure,
^(G)But with the perverted You ^[e]show Yourself astute.
^28 (H)And You save an afflicted people;
^(I)But Your eyes are on the haughty whom You humiliate.
^29 (J)For You are my lamp, Lord;
And the Lord illuminates my darkness.
^30 (K)For by You I can run at a ^[f]troop of warriors;
By my God I can leap over a wall.
^31 (L)As for God, His way is ^[g]blameless;
^(M)The word of the Lord is refined;
^(N)He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
