Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 18:32

32. It is God that girdeth me with strength , and maketh my way perfect .

That gives me strength both of Mind and Body for Battel. It is a Metaphor taken either from a Military Girdle, or from a Common Girdle, wherewith their loose Garments were girt about them, whereby they were rendred fitter for any Action.

(i. e.) Perfectly plain and smooth, and clear from Impediments, as Pioneers use to prepare the way for the March of an Army. He guideth me in all my Counsels and enterprizes, so that I neither miss my way, nor stumble in it, nor come short of my end.
