God, ever since I was young you have taught me. To this very day I tell about your wonderful acts.
David gave an answer to Rekab and his brother Baanah. They were the sons of Rimmon from Beeroth. David said, “The Lord has saved me from every trouble.
I haven’t turned away from your laws, because you yourself have taught me.
How can a young person keep their life pure? By living according to your word.
I shout my praise to you. I tell about all the wonderful things you have done.
Come and hear, all you who have respect for God. Let me tell you what he has done for me.
You are the King and the Lord. You have always been my hope. I have trusted in you ever since I was young.
But I am close to you. And that’s good. Lord and King, I have made you my place of safety. I will talk about everything you have done.
I have taught you rules and laws, just as the Lord my God commanded me. Obey them in the land you are entering to take as your very own.
