Context of 2 Samuel 22:47

45foreigners cower before me; as soon as they hear of me, they obey me. 46They all lose heart; they come trembling from their strongholds. “The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be my God, the Rock, my Savior! 48He is the God who avenges me, who puts the nations under me, 49who sets me free from my enemies. You exalted me above my foes; from a violent man you rescued me.
