2 Samuel 22:21-31

21YhwhH3068 rewardedH1580 me according to my righteousnessH6666: according to the cleannessH1252 of my handsH3027 hath he recompensedH7725 me.

22For I have keptH8104 the waysH1870 of YhwhH3068, and have not wickedly departedH7561 from my GodH430.

23For all his judgmentsH4941 were before me: and as for his statutesH2708, I did not departH5493 from them.

24I was also uprightH8549 before him, and have keptH8104 myself from mine iniquityH5771.1

25Therefore YhwhH3068 hath recompensedH7725 me according to my righteousnessH6666; according to my cleannessH1252 in his eye sightH5869H5048.2

26With the mercifulH2623 thou wilt shew thyself mercifulH2616, and with the uprightH8549 manH1368 thou wilt shew thyself uprightH8552.

27With the pureH1305 thou wilt shew thyself pureH1305; and with the perverseH6141 thou wilt shew thyself contraryH6617.3

28And the afflictedH6041 peopleH5971 thou wilt saveH3467: but thine eyesH5869 are upon the haughtyH7311, that thou mayest bring them downH8213.

29For thou art my lampH5216, O YhwhH3068: And YhwhH3068 will lightenH5050 my darknessH2822.4

30For by thee I have runH7323 through a troopH1416: by my GodH430 have I leaped overH1801 a wallH7791.5

31As for GodH410, his wayH1870 is perfectH8549; the wordH565 of YhwhH3068 is triedH6884: he is a bucklerH4043 to all them that trustH2620 in him.6
