2 Samuel 22:21-35 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

21. The Lord will reward me according to my justice. And he will repay me according to the cleanness of my hands.

22. For I have kept to the ways of the Lord, and I have not acted impiously before my God.

23. For all his judgments are in my sight. And I have not removed his precepts from me.

24. And I shall be perfect with him. And I shall guard myself from my own iniquity.

25. And the Lord will recompense me according to my justice, and according to the cleanness of my hands in the sight of his eyes.

26. With the holy one, you will be holy, and with the strong one, you will be perfect.

27. With the elect one, you will be elect, and with the perverse one, you will be perverse.

28. And you will bring to salvation the poor people, and you will humble the exalted with your eyes.

29. For you are my lamp, O Lord. And you, O Lord, will illuminate my darkness.

30. For in you, I will run girded. In my God, I will leap over the wall.

31. God, his way is immaculate; the eloquence of the Lord is an exacting fire. He is the shield of all who hope in him.

32. Who is God except the Lord? And who is strong except our God?

33. God, he has girded me with fortitude, and he has made my way perfect:

34. making my feet like the feet of the stag, and stationing me upon my exalted places,

35. teaching my hands to do battle, and making my arms like a bow of brass.
