2 Samuel 22:29 In-Context

27 with the purified you deal purely, and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.

28 You save a humble people, but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them down.

29 For you are my lamp, O Lord, and my God lightens my darkness.

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

31 This God— his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.
