Context of 2 Samuel 22:43
41Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, That I might cut off them that hate me. 42They looked, but there was none to save; Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not. Then did I beat them small as the dust of the earth, I did crush them as the mire of the streets, and did spread them abroad. 44Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people; Thou hast kept me to be the head of the nations: A people whom I have not known shall serve me. 45The foreigners shall submit themselves unto me: As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me.
