Context of 2 Samuel 22:26

24I was also perfect toward him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity. 25Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eyesight. With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, with the perfect man thou wilt shew thyself perfect; 27With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the perverse thou wilt shew thyself froward. 28And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.
