God's Spiritual Armor
Commentators explain that this verse portrays God as a warrior preparing for battle. However, his armor is not physical but spiritual. He is armed with "righteousness," "salvation," "vengeance," and "zeal." This powerful imagery is meant to assure believers that God is fully equipped and all-sufficient to defend His people and defeat His enemies without needing any human help.
