2 Samuel 22:21
19 They confronted me in my day of calamity, but the LORD was my support.
20 He brought me out into the open; He rescued me because He delighted in me.
The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness; He has repaid me according to the cleanness of my hands.
22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 For all His ordinances are before me; I have not disregarded His statutes.
