Psalms 18:35

33 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.

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.

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

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
