Context of 2 Samuel 22:33
31As for God, His way is blameless and perfect; The word of the Lord is tested. He is a shield to all those who take refuge and trust in Him. 32For who is God, besides the Lord? And who is a rock, besides our God? God is my strong fortress; He sets the blameless in His way. 34He makes my feet like the doe’s feet [firm and swift]; He sets me [secure and confident] on my high places. 35He trains my hands for war, So that my arms can bend (pull back) a bow of bronze.
