2 Samuel 22:43 In-Context

41 You placed my foot on their necks. I have destroyed all who hated me.

42 They looked for help, but no one came to their rescue. They even cried to the LORD, but he refused to answer.

43 I ground them as fine as the dust of the earth; I trampled them in the gutter like dirt.

44 “You gave me victory over my accusers. You preserved me as the ruler over nations; people I don’t even know now serve me.

45 Foreign nations cringe before me; as soon as they hear of me, they submit.
