Context of 2 Samuel 22:43

41Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, that I might cut off them that hate me. 42They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not. Then did I beat them small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the streets, and did spread them abroad. 44Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people; thou hast kept me to be the head of the nations: a people whom I have not known shall serve me. 45The strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me.
