Psalms 18:37

³⁵ You have given me Your shield of salvation; Your right hand upholds me, and Your gentleness exalts me.

³⁶ You broaden the path beneath me so that my ankles do not give way.

I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back until they were consumed.

³⁸ I crushed them so they could not rise; they have fallen under my feet.

³⁹ You have armed me with strength for battle; You have subdued my foes beneath me.

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
