2 Samuel 22:33
31 As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
32 For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?
God is my strong fortress and He makes my way clear.
34 He makes my feet like those of a deer and stations me upon the heights.
35 He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
