Context of 2 Samuel 22:46

44You rescue me from a hostile army; you preserve me as a leader of nations; people over whom I had no authority are now my subjects. 45Foreigners are powerless before me; when they hear of my exploits, they submit to me. Foreigners lose their courage; they shake with fear as they leave their strongholds. 47The Lord is alive! My protector is praiseworthy! The God who delivers me is exalted as king! 48The one true God completely vindicates me; he makes nations submit to me.
