Text -- 2 Samuel 22:43-51 (NET)
![](images/arrow_open.gif)
Strongs On/Off
Context
22:43 I grind them as fine as the dust of the ground ; I crush them and stomp on them like clay in the streets .
22:44 You rescue me from a hostile army ; you preserve me as a leader of nations ; people over whom I had no authority are now my subjects .
22:45 Foreigners are powerless before me; when they hear of my exploits, they submit to me.
22:46 Foreigners lose their courage ; they shake with fear as they leave their strongholds .
22:47 The Lord is alive ! My protector is praiseworthy ! The God who delivers me is exalted as king !
22:48 The one true God completely vindicates me; he makes nations submit to me.
22:49 He delivers me from my enemies ; you snatch me away from those who attack me; you rescue me from violent men .
22:50 So I will give you thanks , O Lord , before the nations ! I will sing praises to you .
22:51 He gives his chosen king magnificent victories ; he is faithful to his chosen ruler , to David and to his descendants forever !”
