Verse in context — 2 Samuel 22

Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.

With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, [and] with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright.

With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury.

And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes [are] upon the haughty, [that] thou mayest bring [them] down.

For thou [art] my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.

David’s reign as king, his triumphs and failures, and God’s covenant with him.
