Context of 2 Samuel 22:29
27With the pure You show Yourself pure, but with the crooked You show Yourself shrewd. 28You save lowly people. But Your eyes are on the haughty— You will humble them. For You are my lamp, Adonai. Adonai shines in my darkness. 30For with You I rush on a troop, with my God I can leap over a wall. 31As for God, His way is perfect. The word of Adonai is pure. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
