Context of 2 Samuel 22:29
27With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the perverse thou wilt shew thyself contrary. 28And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down. For thou art my lamp, O Yhwh: And Yhwh will lighten my darkness. 30For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall. 31As for God, his way is perfect; the word of Yhwh is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
