2 Samuel 22:18–27

¹⁸He rescued me from my powerful enemy,

from foes too mighty for me.

¹⁹They confronted me in my day of calamity,

but the LORD was my support.

²⁰He brought me out into the open;

He rescued me because He delighted in me.

²¹The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness;

He has repaid me according to the cleanness of my hands.

²²For I have kept the ways of the LORD

and have not wickedly departed from my God.

²³For all His ordinances are before me;

I have not disregarded His statutes.

²⁴And I have been blameless before Him

and kept myself from iniquity.

²⁵So the LORD has repaid me according to my righteousness,

according to my cleanness in His sight.^d

²⁶To the faithful You show Yourself faithful,

to the blameless You show Yourself blameless;

²⁷to the pure You show Yourself pure,

but to the crooked You show Yourself shrewd.
