By David. Blessed be Yahweh, my rock, who trains my hands to war, and my fingers to battle—

"Put on the whole armour of God" — Ephesians 6 dresses a believer head to toe, and every piece maps to something Christ already is. These verses walk the inventory. The fifteen verses below are the Bible's direct address to that situation, shown in full KJV text from Psalms 144:1 to Hebrews 4:12.
Quick answer: The best-known verse about the armor of god here is Psalms 144:1: "Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:" Isaiah 59:17 follows close behind: "For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak." Both are public-domain translations, shown in full on the cards below with a modern-English toggle.
