Context of 2 Samuel 22:29
27With the pure thou dost shew thyself pure; And with the perverse thou dost shew thyself contrary. 28And the afflicted people thou dost save; And thine eyes are upon the haughty, [whom] thou bringest down. For thou art my lamp, Jehovah; And Jehovah enlighteneth my darkness. 30For by thee I have run through a troop; By my God have I leaped over a wall. 31As for God, his way is perfect; The word of Jehovah is tried: He is a shield to all that trust in him.
