2 Samuel 22:21-31

21"The Lord dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he rewarded me.

22For I have kept the ways of the Lord and have not wickedly departed from my God.

23For all his rules were before me, and from his statutes I did not turn aside.

24I was blameless before him, and I kept myself from guilt.

25And the Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in his sight.

26"With the merciful you show yourself merciful; with the blameless man you show yourself blameless;

27with the purified you deal purely, and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.

28You save a humble people, but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them down.

29For you are my lamp, O Lord, and my God lightens my darkness.

30For by you I can run against a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall.

31This God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.
