2 Samuel 22:21-37 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

21. The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands has 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 my iniquity.

25. Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eyesight.

26. With the merciful you will show yourself merciful, and with the upright man you will show yourself upright.

27. With the pure you will show yourself pure; and with the devious you will show yourself shrewd.

28. And the afflicted people you will save: but your eyes are upon the haughty, that you may bring them down.

29. For you are my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will enlighten my darkness.

30. For by you I can run against 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 proven: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.

32. For who is God, except the LORD? and who is a rock, except our God?

33. God is my strength and power: and he makes my way perfect.

34. He makes my feet like hinds' feet: and sets me upon my high places.

35. He teaches my hands to make war; so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.

36. You have also given me the shield of your salvation: and your gentleness has made me great.

37. You have enlarged my path under me; so that my feet did not slip.
