Context of 2 Samuel 22:29
27With the pure You show Yourself pure, With the perverted You show Yourself astute. 28And You save the afflicted people; But Your eyes are on the haughty whom You abase (humiliate). For You, O Lord, are my lamp; The Lord illumines and dispels my darkness. 30For by You I can run upon a troop; By my God I can leap over a wall. 31As for God, His way is blameless and perfect; The word of the Lord is tested. He is a shield to all those who take refuge and trust in Him.
