Shmuel Bais 22:24-35 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

24. I was also tamim (blameless) before Him, and have kept myself from mine avon (iniquity).

25. Therefore Hashem hath rewarded me according to my tzedakah; according to my cleanness before His eyesight.

26. With the chasid (loyal, the one having chesed, the devout one) Thou wilt show Thyself loyal, and with the Gibbor tamim (blameless man) Thou wilt show Thyself blameless.

27. With the pure Thou wilt show Thyself pure; and with the ikkesh (crooked, devious) Thou wilt show Thyself shrewd.

28. And the Am oni (afflicted people) Thou wilt save; but Thine eyes are upon the haughty, that Thou mayest bring them down.

29. For Thou art my ner (lamp), Hashem; and Hashem will lighten my choshech.

30. For by Thee I have run through a troop; by Elohai can I leap over a wall.

31. As for G-d, His derech is tamim; the Word of Hashem is proven; He is a mogen (shield) to all them that trust in Him.

32. For who is G-d, save Hashem? And who is Tzur, save Eloheinu?

33. G-d is my ma'oz and power; and He maketh my derech perfect.

34. He maketh my feet like the feet of ayyalot (deer); and maketh me stand upon my high places.

35. He teacheth my yadayim for milchamah; so that a keshet nechoshah is bent by mine arms.
