Psalms 18:36
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.
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.
38 I 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.
