2 Samuel 22:37
35 He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
36 You have given me Your shield of salvation, and Your gentleness exalts me.
You broaden the path beneath me so that my ankles do not give way.
38 I pursued my enemies and destroyed them; I did not turn back until they were consumed.
39 I devoured and crushed them so they could not rise; they have fallen under my feet.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
