Psalms 18:32

Strength and help in weaknessGuidance and decisionsGod's power and sovereignty

30 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.

31 For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?

It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way clear.

33 He makes my feet like those of a deer and stations me upon the heights.

34 He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
