2 Samuel 22:21-31

21The Lord rewarded me because of my righteousness, because my hands are clean. He paid me back

22because I have kept the ways of the Lord and I have not wickedly turned away from my God,

23because all his judgments are in front of me and I have not turned away from his laws.

24I was innocent as far as he was concerned. I have kept myself from guilt.

25The Lord paid me back because of my righteousness, because he can see that I am clean.

26⌞In dealing⌟ with faithful people you are faithful, with innocent warriors you are innocent,

27with pure people you are pure. ⌞In dealing⌟ with devious people you are clever.

28You save humble people, but your eyes bring down arrogant people.

29O Lord, you are my lamp. The Lord turns my darkness into light.

30With you I can attack a line of soldiers. With my God I can break through barricades.

31God’s way is perfect! The promise of the Lord has proven to be true. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
