New King James Version

2 Samuel 22:21-29 New King James Version (NKJV)

21. “The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness;According to the cleanness of my handsHe has recompensed me.

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

23. For all His judgments were before me;And as for His statutes, I did not depart from them.

24. I was also blameless before Him,And I kept myself from my iniquity.

25. Therefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness,According to my cleanness in His eyes.

26. “With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful;With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless;

27. With the pure You will show Yourself pure;And with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd.

28. You will save the humble people;But Your eyes are on the haughty, that You may bring them down.

29. “For You are my lamp, O Lord;The Lord shall enlighten my darkness.
