Context of 2 Samuel 22:29
27with the pure you prove yourself pure, but with the crooked you prove yourself shrewd. 28You rescue an oppressed people, but your eyes are set against the proud — you humble them. Lord, you are my lamp; the Lord illuminates my darkness. 30With you I can attack a barricade, and with my God I can leap over a wall. 31God — his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is pure. He is a shield to all who take refuge in him.
