Amplified Bible

2 Samuel 22:22-35 Amplified Bible (AMP)

22. For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

23. For all His ordinances were before me; and from His statutes I did not turn aside.

24. I was also blameless before Him and kept myself from guilt and iniquity.

25. Therefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in His [holy] sight.

26. Toward the loving and loyal You will show Yourself loving and loyal, and with the upright and blameless You will show Yourself upright and blameless.

27. To the pure You will show Yourself pure, and to the willful You will show Yourself willful.

28. And the afflicted people You will deliver, but Your eyes are upon the haughty, whom You will bring down.

29. For You, O Lord, are my Lamp; the Lord lightens my darkness.

30. For by You I run through a troop; by my God I leap over a wall.

31. As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried. He is a Shield to all those who trust and take refuge in Him.

32. For who is God but the Lord? And who is a Rock except our God?

33. God is my strong Fortress; He guides the blameless in His way and sets him free.

34. He makes my feet like the hinds' [firm and able]; He sets me secure and confident upon the heights.

35. He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
