There is Thriving to be Done

As for God, his way is perfect:

    The Lord’s word is flawless;

    he shields all who take refuge in him.

For who is God besides the Lord?

    And who is the Rock except our God?

It is God who arms me with strength

    and keeps my way secure.

He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;  
he causes me to stand on the heights.

He trains my hands for battle;  

my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

You make your saving help my shield, 
and your right hand sustains me;
your help has made me great.

You provide a broad path for my feet, 
so that my ankles do not give way.

Therefore I will praise you, Lord, 

among the nations;
    I will sing the praises of your name.

[Ps. 18, in bits and pieces]
