Context of 2 Samuel 22:26

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. Lord, 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.
