Context of 2 Samuel 22:43
41You caused my enemies to turn their backs, and they ran away from me. I destroyed those who hate me. 42They called out for help, but nobody was there to save them. They called to the Lord, but he did not answer them. I beat them until they became like dust. I walked over them, like dirt that lies on the streets. 44You have saved me when my people were attacking me. You have made me a ruler of other nations. People that I did not know before now serve me as their ruler. 45Foreign people cannot stand against me, because they are afraid. When they hear about me, they choose to obey me.
