## 2 Samuel 22:39-43 in Context (Verses 36–46 KJV)
 
 [36 ](/kjv/2-samuel/22/36) Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.*
 
 [37 ](/kjv/2-samuel/22/37) Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.*
 
 [38 ](/kjv/2-samuel/22/38) I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
 
 [39 ](/kjv/2-samuel/22/39) And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.
 
 [40 ](/kjv/2-samuel/22/40) For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.*
 
 [41 ](/kjv/2-samuel/22/41) Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
 
 [42 ](/kjv/2-samuel/22/42) They looked, but *there was* none to save; *even* unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
 
 [43 ](/kjv/2-samuel/22/43) Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, *and* did spread them abroad.
 
 [44 ](/kjv/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.
 
 [45 ](/kjv/2-samuel/22/45) Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.**
 
 [46 ](/kjv/2-samuel/22/46) Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.
 
[2 Samuel 21](/kjv/2-samuel/21) [2 Samuel 23](/kjv/2-samuel/23)
