2 Samuel 22:26-38 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

26. With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, with the perfect man thou wilt shew thyself perfect;

27. With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the perverse thou wilt shew 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 Lord: and the Lord 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 the Lord is tried; he is a shield unto all them that trust in him.

32. For who is God, save the Lord? 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.

37. Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.

38. I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
