Psalm 18
1. David praises God for his manifold and marvelous blessings














(32) The verse should run on closely from the last. The italics spoil it.

Girdeth.--The importance of the girdle in a country where the dress was loose and flowing is shown by many passages of Scripture. It is essential to the warrior as here (comp. Ephesians 6:14, and the Greek expression, "to be girt" = to be armed), but also for all active exertion.

Way.--Here, not of conduct, but the military path, the march. Notice the variation in Samuel.

Verse 32. - It is God that girdeth me with strength (comp. ver. 39). And maketh my way perfect. Keeps me, i.e., in the right way - the way of his commandments.
