Psalms 18 — Context

He makes my feet like roes' feet, and puts me on high places.

He makes my hands expert in war, so that a bow of brass is bent by my arms.

You have given me the breastplate of your salvation: your right hand has been my support, and your mercy has made me great.

You have made my steps wide under me, so that my feet are kept from slipping.

I go after my haters and overtake them; not turning back till they are all overcome.

I will give them wounds, so that they are not able to get up: they are stretched under my feet.

For I have been armed by you with strength for the fight: you have made low under me those who come out against me.
