New Testament

2 Samuel 22:15-30 New International Version (NIV)

15. He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy, with great bolts of lightning he routed them.

16. The valleys of the sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth laid bare at the rebuke of the Lord, at the blast of breath from his nostrils.

17. “He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters.

18. He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me.

19. They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the Lord was my support.

20. He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me.

21. “The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.

22. For I have kept the ways of the Lord; I am not guilty of turning from my God.

23. All his laws are before me; I have not turned away from his decrees.

24. I have been blameless before him and have kept myself from sin.

25. The Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in his sight.

26. “To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless,

27. to the pure you show yourself pure, but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.

28. You save the humble, but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them low.

29. You, Lord, are my lamp; the Lord turns my darkness into light.

30. With your help I can advance against a troop ; with my God I can scale a wall.
