Ezek. xvi. 10.
The Son . . . appeared Girt with omnipotence.
Milton.
5. To prepare; to make ready; to equip; as, to gird one's self for a
contest.
Thou hast girded me with strength.
Ps. xviii. 39.
To gird on, to put on; to fasten around or to one securely, like a
girdle; as, to gird on armor or a sword.
Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that
putteth it off.
