Context of 2 Samuel 22:44
42They looked, but there was none to save; Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not. 43Then 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. Thou 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. 46The foreigners shall fade away, And shall come trembling out of their close places.
