2 Samuel 22:21-31

21The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

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

23For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.

24I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity.1

25Therefore the Lord hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.2

26With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright.

27With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury.3

28And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.

29For thou art my lamp, O Lord: and the Lord will lighten my darkness.4

30For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.5

31As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.6
