2 Samuel 22:47
45 Foreigners cower before me; when they hear me, they obey me.
46 Foreigners lose heart and come trembling from their strongholds.
The LORD lives, and blessed be my Rock! And may God, the Rock of my salvation, be exalted—
48 the God who avenges me and brings down nations beneath me,
49 who frees me from my enemies. You exalt me above my foes; You rescue me from violent men.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
