2 Samuel 22:44 in Context — 2 Samuel 22

42 Ils regardent autour d’eux, et personne pour les sauver! Ils crient à l’Éternel, et il ne leur répond pas!

43 Je les broie comme la poussière de la terre, Je les écrase, je les foule, comme la boue des rues.

44 Tu me délivres des dissensions de mon peuple; Tu me conserves pour chef des nations; Un peuple que je ne connaissais pas m’est asservi.

45 Les fils de l’étranger me flattent, Ils m’obéissent au premier ordre.

46 Les fils de l’étranger sont en défaillance, Ils tremblent hors de leurs forteresses.
