2 Samuel 22:44 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 22:44

Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people,
thou hast kept me [to be] head of the heathen: a people [which] I knew
not shall serve me.] (See Gill on Psalms 18:43).

2 Samuel 22:44 In-Context

42 They cried "uncle" but Uncle didn't come; They yelled for God and got no for an answer.
43 I ground them to dust; they gusted in the wind. I threw them out, like garbage in the gutter.
44 You rescued me from a squabbling people; you made me a leader of nations. People I'd never heard of served me;
45 the moment they got wind of me they submitted.
46 They gave up; they came trembling from their hideouts.
