For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.
This declaration comes from a song David composed while Saul was hunting him and seeking his life. The song recounts his dangers and his deliverances. It shows his trust in God during severe trials and gives praise and glory to God as his merciful preserver. In this verse he gratefully acknowledges that God girded him with strength for battle and subdued under him those who rose against him, crediting God rather than himself for deliverance and victory.
