New Testament

2 Samuel 22:27-42 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

27. You are pure to those who are pure.But you are against those who are bad.

28. You save those who are not proud.But you make humble those who are proud.

29. Lord, you give light to my lamp.The Lord brightens the darkness around me.

30. With your help, I can attack an army.With God’s help, I can jump over a wall.

31. “The ways of God are without fault.The Lord’s words are pure.He is a shield to those who trust him.

32. Who is God? Only the Lord.Who is the Rock? Only our God.

33. God is my protection.He makes my way free from fault.

34. He makes me like a deer, which does not stumble.He helps me stand on the steep mountains.

35. He trains my hands for battle.So my arms can bend a bronze bow.

36. You protect me with your saving shield.You have stooped to make me great.

37. You give me a better way to live.So I live as you want me to.

38. I chased my enemies and destroyed them.I did not quit till they were destroyed.

39. I destroyed and crushed them,so they couldn’t rise up again.They fell beneath my feet.

40. You gave me strength in battle.You made my enemies bow before me.

41. You made my enemies turn back.I destroyed those who hated me.

42. They called for help,but no one came to save them.They called to the Lord,but he did not answer them.
