2 Samuel 22:27

Verse 27 of 51. The 22nd of 24 chapters in 2 Samuel, in History.

23For all his ordinances were before me. As for his statutes, I didn’t depart from them.

24I was also perfect toward him. I kept myself from my iniquity.

25Therefore the LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his eyesight.

26With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man you will show yourself perfect.

27With the pure you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.

28You will save the afflicted people, but your eyes are on the arrogant, that you may bring them down.

29For you are my lamp, LORD. The LORD will light up my darkness.

30For by you, I run against a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.

31As for God, his way is perfect. The LORD’s word is tested. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
