Salmene 18,38

36 Du utvider stien under meg,
Og mine føtter har ikke sklidd.

37 Jeg forfulgte mine fiender og tok dem igjen,
Og jeg vendte ikke tilbake før de var ødelagt.

Jeg slo dem ned, så de ikke kunne reise seg;
De falt under mine føtter.

39 For du har utrustet meg med styrke til strid;
Du har underlagt dem som reiste seg mot meg.

40 Du har også fått mine fiender til å vende ryggen til meg,
Og jeg utslettet dem som hatet meg.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
