2 Samuel 22:18 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Samuel 22:18

16 Then the channels of the sea ^awere seen,
The foundations of the world were uncovered,
At the ^brebuke of the Lord,
At the blast of the breath of His nostrils.

17 “He^a sent from above, He took me,
He drew me out of many waters.

18 He delivered me from my strong enemy,
From those who hated me;
For they were too strong for me.

19 They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
But the Lord was my ^asupport.

20 ^aHe also brought me out into a broad place;
He delivered me because He ^bdelighted in me.

21 “The^a Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness;
According to the ^bcleanness of my hands
He has recompensed me.

22 For I have ^akept the ways of the Lord,
And have not wickedly departed from my God.

23 For all His ^ajudgments were before me;
And as for His statutes, I did not depart from them.

24 I was also ^ablameless before Him,
And I kept myself from my iniquity.

25 Therefore ^athe Lord has recompensed me according to¹ my righteousness,
According to my cleanness in His eyes.

26 “With ^athe merciful You will show Yourself merciful;
With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless;

27 With the pure You will show Yourself pure;
And ^awith the devious You will show Yourself shrewd.

28 You will save the ^ahumble people;
But Your eyes are on ^bthe haughty, that You may bring them down.

29 “For You are my ^alamp, O Lord;
The Lord shall enlighten my darkness.
