2 Samuel 22:30
28 You save an afflicted people, but Your eyes are on the haughty to bring them down.
29 For You, O LORD, are my lamp; the LORD lights up my darkness.
For in You I can charge an army; with my God I can scale a wall.
31 As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
32 For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
