It is God that girds me with strength, and makes my way perfect.
Read Chapter 18
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
33. "God, who hath girded me with strength" (ver. 32). God, who hath girded me that I might be strong, lest the loosely flowing folds of desire hinder my deeds and steps. "And hath made my way undefiled." And hath made the way of love, whereby I may come to Him, undefiled, as the way of faith is undefiled, whereby He comes to me.
Blameless. Whatever good is in me, comes from his grace, ver. 21, 24. (Haydock)
God has prevented me from killing Saul and Nabal; He has rescued me from the abyss into which I had fallen. (Calmet)
