2 Samuel 22:33 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Samuel 22:33

31 As for God, ^aHis way is perfect;
^bThe word of the Lord is proven;
He is a shield to all who trust in Him.

32 “For ^awho is God, except the Lord?
And who is a rock, except our God?

33 God is my ^astrength and power,
And He ^bmakes my way ^cperfect.

34 He makes¹ my feet ^alike the feet of deer,
And ^bsets me on my high places.

35 He teaches my hands¹ to make war,
So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

36 “You have also given me the shield of Your salvation;
Your gentleness has made me great.

37 You ^aenlarged my path under me;
So my feet did not slip.
