Psalms 18:32

“It is God that girdeth me with strength - Who gives me strength. The word girdeth contains an allusion to the mode of dress among the orientals, the long flowing robe, which was girded up when they ran or labored, that it might not impede them; and, probably, with the additional idea that girding the loins contributed to strength. It is a common custom now for men who run a race, or leap, or engage in a strife of pugilism, to gird or bind up their loins. See Job 40:7, note; and Matthew 5:38-41, notes. And maketh my way perfect - Gives me complete success in my undertakings; or, enables me so to carry them out that none of them fail. return to 'Top of Page'”

“Perfect - Perfectly plain and smooth, and clear from impediments. Psalms 18:33”

“18:32-34 The psalmist’s victories come from the Lord. He completely depends on God.”

“girdeth: The girdle was a necessary part of the eastern dress: It strengthened and supported the loins; served to confine the garments close to the body; and to tuck them in when journeying. The strength of God was to his soul what the girdle was to his body. Psa 28:7, Psa 91:2, Psa 93:1; Isa 45:5; Co2 3:5 maketh: Sa2 22:33 Psalms 18:33”
