Context of 2 Samuel 22:29
27With the pure You show Yourself pure, And with the perverted You show Yourself astute. 28And You save an afflicted people; But Your eyes are on the haughty whom You abase. For You are my lamp, O Lord; And the Lord illumines my darkness. 30For by You I can run upon a troop; By my God I can leap over a wall. 31As for God, His way is blameless; The word of the Lord is tested; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
