Context of 2 Samuel 22:46

44You have freed me from the feuds among my people; you have preserved me as head of nations; a people I had not known serve me. 45Foreigners submit to me cringing; as soon as they hear, they obey me. Foreigners lose heart and come trembling from their fortifications. 47The Lord lives — blessed be my rock! God, the rock of my salvation, is exalted. 48God — he grants me vengeance and casts down peoples under me.
