Context of 2 Samuel 22:44
42They looked, and there was none to save — Unto Jehovah, and he answered them not. 43And I did beat them small as the dust of the earth, I trod them as the mire of the streets; I stamped upon them. And thou hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, Thou hast kept me to be head of the nations: A people I knew not doth serve me: 45Strangers come cringing unto me: At the hearing of the ear, they obey me. 46Strangers have faded away, And they come trembling forth from their close places.
