Context of 2 Samuel 22:30

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. You 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!
