Psalms 18:43-45

43Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.

44As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.1 2 3

45The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.4
