2 Samuel 22:23-32
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 22
23For all His ordinances were before me, And as for His statutes, I did not deviate from them. 24I was also blameless toward Him, And I have kept myself from my wrongdoing. 25So the Lord has repaid me in accordance with my righteousness, In accordance with my cleanliness before His eyes. 26With the one who is faithful You show Yourself faithful, With the blameless one You prove Yourself blameless; 27With the one who is pure You show Yourself pure, But with the perverted You show Yourself astute. 28And You save an afflicted people; But Your eyes are on the haughty whom You humiliate. 29For You are my lamp, Lord; And the Lord illuminates my darkness. 30For by You I can run at a troop of warriors; By my God I can leap over a wall. 31As for God, His way is blameless; The word of the Lord is refined; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him. 32For who is God, except the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God?King James Version

Chapter 22
23Indeed, I let all his ordinances guide me and have not disregarded his statutes. 24I was blameless before him and kept myself from my iniquity.
25So the Lord repaid me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in his sight.
26With the faithful you prove yourself faithful, with the blameless you prove yourself blameless,
27with the pure you prove yourself pure; but with the crooked you prove yourself shrewd.
28You rescue an oppressed people, but your eyes are set against the proud— you humble them.
29 Lord, you are my lamp; the Lord illuminates my darkness.
30With you I can attack a barricade, and with my God I can leap over a wall.
New Living Translation
Chapter 22
23I have followed all his regulations; I have never abandoned his decrees. 24I am blameless before God; I have kept myself from sin. 25The Lord rewarded me for doing right. He has seen my innocence.
26'To the faithful you show yourself faithful; to those with integrity you show integrity.
27To the pure you show yourself pure, but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd.
28You rescue the humble, but your eyes watch the proud and humiliate them.
29O Lord, you are my lamp. The Lord lights up my darkness.
30In your strength I can crush an army; with my God I can scale any wall.

Chapter 22
23 For all his rules were before me, and from his statutes I did not turn aside. 24I was blameless before him, and I kept myself from guilt. 25 And the Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in his sight. 26 "With the merciful you show yourself merciful; with the blameless man you show yourself blameless; 27with 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. 30For by you I can run against a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall. 31This God — his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him. 32"For who is God, but the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God?New International Version

23All his laws are before me; I have not turned away from his decrees. 24I have been blameless before him and have kept myself from sin.
25The Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in his sight.
26"To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless,
27to the pure you show yourself pure, but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.
28You save the humble, but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them low.
29You, Lord, are my lamp; the Lord turns my darkness into light.
