Bible. Samuel, 2nd
10:022:017 He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;
10:022:018 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated
me: for they were too strong for me.
10:022:019 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was
my stay.
10:022:020 He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me,
because he delighted in me.
10:022:021 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according
to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
10:022:022 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly
departed from my God.
10:022:023 For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes,
I did not depart from them.
10:022:024 I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine
iniquity.
10:022:025 Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my
righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.
10:022:026 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with
the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright.
10:022:027 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the
froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury.
10:022:028 And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are
upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.
10:022:029 For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my
darkness.
10:022:030 For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I
leaped over a wall.
10:022:031 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried:
he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
10:022:032 For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our
God?
10:022:033 God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.
10:022:034 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my
high places.
10:022:035 He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken
by mine arms.
10:022:036 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy
gentleness hath made me great.
10:022:037 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not
slip.
10:022:038 I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned
not again until I had consumed them.
10:022:039 And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could
not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.
10:022:040 For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that
rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.
10:022:041 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I
might destroy them that hate me.
10:022:042 They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD,
but he answered them not.
