New Testament

2 Samuel 22:23-42 Modern English Version (MEV)

23. For all His judgments are before me,and I have not abandoned His statutes.

24. I am blameless toward Him,and I have kept myself from guilt.

25. The Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness,according to my cleanness in His sight.

26. With the faithful You prove Yourself faithful;with the blameless You prove Yourself blameless;

27. with the pure You show Yourself pure;but with the perverse You show Yourself shrewd.

28. You deliver a humble people;but Your eyes are upon the exalted to bring them down.

29. For You are my lamp, O Lord;the Lord illuminates my darkness.

30. For by You I can run over a channel;by my God I can leap over a wall.

31. As for God, His way is perfect;the word of the Lord is proven;He is a shieldfor all who take refuge in Him.

32. For who is God except the Lord?And who is a rock except our God?

33. God is my strong fortress,and He sets the blameless on His way.

34. He makes my feet like hinds’ feet;He sets me on my high places.

35. He trains my hand for battle,so that my arm may bend a bow of bronze.

36. You have given me a shield of Your salvation,and Your humility has made me great.

37. You widen my stride under me,and my feet do stagger.

38. I pursued my enemies and destroyed them;I did not turn back until they were consumed.

39. I consumed them and shattered them so that they did not rise;they fell under my feet.

40. You girded me with strength for the battle;You subjugated under me those who rose up against me.

41. You caused my enemies to retreat from me;I destroyed those who hated me.

42. They looked, but there was no one to save them,to the Lord, but He did not respond.
