Context of 2 Samuel 22:45
43Then I beat them as fine as the dust of the earth; I trod them like dirt in the streets, And I spread them out. 44“You have also delivered me from the strivings of my people; You have kept me as the head of the nations. A people I have not known shall serve me. The foreigners submit to me; As soon as they hear, they obey me. 46The foreigners fade away, And come frightened from their hideouts. 47“The Lord lives! Blessed be my Rock! Let God be exalted, The Rock of my salvation!
