As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the LORD is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him. For who is God, except the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God?

It is God who arms me with strength, And makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of deer, And sets me on my high places. He teaches my hands to make war, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your right hand has held me up, Your gentleness has made me great. You enlarged my path under me, So my feet did not slip. I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them; Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed. I have wounded them, So that they could not rise; They have fallen under my feet.

For You have armed me with strength for the battle; You have subdued under me those who rose up against me. You have also given me the necks of my enemies, So that I destroyed those who hated me. They cried out, but there was none to save; Even to the LORD, but He did not answer them.

I look at this passage as giving me an outline for the contents of a Worship prayer. Wording, contents and emphasis will vary, but there are two areas here in which the Psalmist is bringing glory to the LORD, God, the Almighty.

The first paragraph lists attributes of God: the perfection of His way, the completeness of His word, a trustworthy shield, His existence as LORD, a rock solid deity. The last two paragraphs list those attributes that enable me to stand against my enemies. I don't spend a significant amount of time in physical combat but I certainly need His support and equipping for the battle of wits between me and the culture in which I live and exist.

Reciting His characteristics and helps are important elements of Worship.
