2 Samuel 22:20

⁸You have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy. You have set my feet in a large place.

²⁶but if he says, ‘I have no delight in you,’ behold, here I am. Let him do to me as seems good to him.”

⁵Out of my distress, I called on the LORD.^[+] The LORD^[+] answered me with freedom.

⁴For the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.

⁸“He trusts in the LORD. Let him deliver him. Let him rescue him, since he delights in him.”

¹¹The LORD takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his loving kindness.

³²This Jesus God raised up, to which we all are witnesses. ³³Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which you now see and hear. ³⁴For David didn’t ascend into the heavens, but he says himself, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit by my right hand ³⁵until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’

³⁶“Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”

¹⁰Jabez called on the God ^[+] of Israel, saying, “Oh that you would bless me indeed, and enlarge my border! May your hand be with me, and may you keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” God granted him that which he requested.

^22[+] He left that place, and dug another well. They didn’t argue over that one. So he called it Rehoboth.^[+] He said, “For now the LORD has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”

¹⁷Behold, a voice out of the heavens said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
