Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 22:31:

and what he says is true.
He is the shield of the people,
all the people who cry to him (for help).” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “God’s way is a perfect way.
His word is true.
He is a shield for those who go to his refuge.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “Your ways, O God, are without error.
Your word can- really -be-trusted.
You are like a shield for all who ask for protection from you.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation) - English: “‘My God whom I worship, everything that you do is perfect;
you always do what you promise that you will do.
You are like a shield to all those who request you to protect them.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
