2 Samuel 22:26 In-Context

24 I feel put back together, and I'm watching my step.
25 God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes.
26 You stick by people who stick with you, you're straight with people who're straight with you,
27 You're good to good people, you shrewdly work around the bad ones.
28 You take the side of the down-and-out, but the stuck-up you take down a peg.
