2 Samuel 22:29-33 (NKJV): “For You are my lamp, O LORD; The LORD shall enlighten my darkness. For by You I can run against a troop; By my God I can leap over a wall. 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? God is my strength and power, And He makes my way perfect.” 

“For You Are ‘My Lamp,’ O Lord; The Lord Shall Enlighten My Darkness”—Illumination. 

My Lamp = Lamp (Path), Candle (room) or Light (Dark). Psalm 119:105 (NKJV): “Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.” Proverbs 20:27 (KJV): “The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.” John 8:12 (NKJV): “…I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”  Light = (phos) Illumination + Life = (zoe) Fullness. 

“As For God, ‘His Way Is Perfect;’ The Word of The Lord Is Proven” — Direction. Perfect = Complete, Whole, Sound —> Upright. Deuteronomy 32:4 (NKJV): “He is the Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice, A God of truth and without injustice; Righteous and upright is He.” 

“He Is ‘A Shield’ To All Who Trust In Him”—Protection. Shield = Protection —> He Is Our Divine Pro-tector. Psalm 3:3 (NKJV): “But You, O LORD, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head.” Psalm 59:9 (NKJV): “I will wait for You, O You his Strength; For God is my defense.”

“And Who Is ‘A Rock ,’ Except Our God”—Stabilization. ‘Rock’ Is A Symbol of Strength and Power. The Hebrew Word for Rock Indicates Firmness, Stability, and Strength. Psalm 18:1-2 (NKJV): “I will love You, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.” 

In Closing, “He Makes ‘My Way Perfect’” –Optimization. Matthew 5:48 (NKJV): “Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.”
