2 Samuel 22:21-30
New International Version
21 “The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness;(A)
according to the cleanness(B) of my hands(C) he has rewarded me.
22 For I have kept(D) the ways of the Lord;
I am not guilty of turning from my God.
23 All his laws are before me;(E)
I have not turned(F) away from his decrees.
24 I have been blameless(G) before him
and have kept myself from sin.
25 The Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,(H)
according to my cleanness[a] in his sight.
26 “To the faithful you show yourself faithful,
to the blameless you show yourself blameless,
27 to the pure(I) you show yourself pure,
but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.(J)
28 You save the humble,(K)
but your eyes are on the haughty(L) to bring them low.(M)
29 You, Lord, are my lamp;(N)
the Lord turns my darkness into light.
30 With your help I can advance against a troop[b];
with my God I can scale a wall.
