Context of 2 Samuel 22:45
43I 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. Foreign people cannot stand against me, because they are afraid. When they hear about me, they choose to obey me. 46They are not brave enough to fight me. They shake with fear as they leave their strong cities. 47The Lord is alive! He is my strong Rock! Everyone should praise him! He rules as king! He is the strong God who saves me.
