As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
As for God, his way is perfect, х taamiym (H8549), complete, faultless; Septuagint, amoomos (G299), blameless]. Amid all the darkness that sometimes shrouds, and the severity that often marks, the course of His providence, His counsel is unerringly wise, just, and good.
The word of the Lord is tried, х tsªruwpaah (H6884), subjected as metals to the fire, and proved to be genuine] - i:e., the truth of His promises, especially that grand promise, 2 Samuel 7:1-29, is infallibly certain, as my own experience and that of thousands besides can attest.
He is a buckler to all them that trust in him, х maageen (H4043), shield, or buckler (see the notes at 2 Samuel 22:3)] - "that trust" i:e., believe in Him, or confide in Him (Genesis 15:1; Deut. 23:29). David has a particular predilection for this figurative designation of God (Psalms 3:3; Psalms 7:10; Psalms 18:2; Psalms 28:7).
