2 Samuel 22:45

David’s Song of Deliverance

44You have delivered me from the strife of my people; You have preserved me as the head of nations; a people I had not known shall serve me. 45Foreigners cower before me; when they hear me, they obey me. 46Foreigners lose heart and come trembling from their strongholds.
