2 Samuel 22:18-37 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

18. He delivereth me from my strong enemy, From those hating me, For they were stronger than I.

19. They are before me in a day of my calamity, And Jehovah is my support,

20. And He bringeth me out to a large place, He draweth me out for He delighted in me.

21. Jehovah recompenseth me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He doth return to me.

22. For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not done wickedly against my God.

23. For all His judgments [are] before me, As to His statutes, I turn not from them.

24. And I am perfect before Him, And I keep myself from mine iniquity.

25. And Jehovah returneth to me, According to my righteousness, According to my cleanness before His eyes.

26. With the kind Thou shewest Thyself kind, With the perfect man Thou shewest Thyself perfect,

27. With the pure Thou shewest Thyself pure, And with the perverse Thou shewest Thyself a wrestler.

28. And the poor people Thou dost save, And Thine eyes on the high causest to fall.

29. For Thou [art] my lamp, O Jehovah, And Jehovah doth lighten my darkness.

30. For by Thee I run--a troop, By my God I leap a wall.

31. God! Perfect [is] His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield He [is] to all those trusting in Him.

32. For who is God save Jehovah? And who a Rock save our God?

33. God--my bulwark, [my] strength, And He maketh perfect my way;

34. Making my feet like hinds, And on my high places causeth me to stand,

35. Teaching my hands for battle, And brought down was a bow of brass by mine arms,

36. And Thou givest to me the shield of Thy salvation, And Thy lowliness maketh me great.

37. Thou enlargest my step under me, And mine ankles have not slidden.
