2 Samuel 22:28-37

28 1And You save an afflicted people; 2But Your eyes are on the haughty whom You humiliate.29 3For You are my lamp, Lord; And the Lord illuminates my darkness.30 4For by You I can run at a 5troop of warriors; By my God I can leap over a wall.31 6As for God, His way is 7blameless; 8The word of the Lord is refined; 9He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.32 10For who is God, except the Lord? 11And who is a rock, except our God?33 12God is my strong fortress; And He 13sets the 14blameless on 15His way.34 16He makes 17my feet like deer’s feet, 18And sets me on my high places.35 19He trains my hands for battle, 20So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.36You have also given me 21the shield of Your salvation, And Your 22help makes me great.37 23You enlarge my steps under me, And my 24feet have not slipped.
