King James Version

2 Samuel 22:28-37

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.1

30For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.2

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.3

32For who is God, save the Lord? and who is a rock, save our God?

33God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.4

34He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet: and setteth me upon my high places.5

35He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.6

36Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.7

37Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.8
