2 Samuel 22:28-37

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.

32We know that the Lord is God, and no one else. Only our God can keep us safe, like a strong rock!

33It is God who makes me strong. He shows me the safe way through my life.

34He makes my feet stand strongly on the ground. Like a deer, I can stand on high hills and not fall.

35He teaches me how to fight in war. He makes my arms strong to shoot arrows from a metal bow.

36You keep me safe in the battle, like a shield. Your kind help has made me great.

37You have helped me to move safely, so that my feet do not slip.
