Psalms 18:33
31 For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?
32 It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way clear.
He makes my feet like those of a deer and stations me upon the heights.
34 He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35 You have given me Your shield of salvation; Your right hand upholds me, and Your gentleness exalts me.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
