2 Samuel 22:27-36 American Standard Version (ASV)

27. With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; And with the perverse thou wilt show thyself froward.

28. And the afflicted people thou wilt save; But thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.

29. For thou art my lamp, O Jehovah; And Jehovah will lighten my darkness.

30. For by thee I run upon a troop; By my God do I leap over a wall.

31. As for God, his way is perfect: The word of Jehovah is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in him.

32. For who is God, save Jehovah? And who is a rock, save our God?

33. God is my strong fortress; And he guideth the perfect in his way.

34. He maketh his feet like hinds’ feet, And setteth me upon my high places.

35. He teacheth my hands to war, So that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.

36. Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation; And thy gentleness hath made me great.
