2 Samuel 22:21-31

21The Lord was kind to me because I do things that please him. He blesses me because I am not guilty of bad things.

22I have obeyed the Lord's commands. I have not turned against my God.

23I understand all his rules, and I do not refuse to obey them.

24He knows that I have done nothing that is wrong. I kept away from any sin.

25The Lord was kind to me, because I did good things. He sees that I am not guilty.

26Lord, if people are faithful to you, then you are faithful to them. If people do nothing that is bad, they can trust you to do nothing bad to them.

27If people keep themselves pure, they can trust you to do only good things. But if people are wicked, you turn against them.

28You save people who are humble. But if people are proud, you cause them to fall.

29Lord, you make my lamp burn brightly. You are my light in the dark.

30You make me strong, so that I can chase a whole army! With the help of my God, I can climb over any high wall.

31God's way is perfect. The Lord's promises are always true. He keeps safe everyone who goes to him for help, like a shield that keeps a soldier safe.
