2 Samuel 22:20 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Samuel 22:20

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.
