Contextual Overview
29 With your help I can defeat an army. If my God is with me, I can climb over enemy walls. 30 God's way is perfect. The Lord 's promise always proves to be true. He protects those who trust in him. 31 There is no God except the Lord . There is no Rock except our God. 32 God is the one who gives me strength. He clears the path I need to take. 33 He makes my feet as steady as those of a deer. Even on steep mountains he keeps me from falling. 34 He trains me for war so that my arms can bend the most powerful bow. 35 Lord, you have given me your shield to protect me. You support me with your right hand. It is your help that has made me great. 36 You cleared a path for my feet so that I could walk without stumbling. 37 I chased my enemies and caught them. I did not stop until they were destroyed. 38 I struck them down, and they could not get up again. They fell under my feet.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
For thou hast girded me with strength unto battle,.... See
Psalms 18:32; that natural strength, courage and valour, which David had, were from the Lord; and so is the Spirit of power, love, and of a sound mind, which believers have; and likewise that strength which Christ, as man, had and used in his combat with the powers of darkness; see
Psalms 80:17;
thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me; as the psalmist ascribes his strength, so he attributes his success to the Lord; who likewise subdues the sins of his people, and all other enemies of theirs, and who also makes the enemies of his Son his footstool, Psalms 110:1.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle - See the note at Psalms 18:32. Compare Job 12:18; Proverbs 31:17.
Thou hast subdued under me - Margin, as in Hebrew, caused to bow. That is, God had caused them to submit to him; he had enabled him to overcome them; still acknowledging that all this was from God, and that the praise was due to Him, and not to the power of his own arm.
