Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.

Verse 45 is found in chapter 22 of 2 Samuel. The poem concludes by celebrating that God equips David for battle, gives him strength, subdues his enemies, and establishes his greatness. Victory does not end in personal exaltation: David blesses the Lord and recognizes that God shows steadfast love to his anointed and his descendants. The reference to descendants connects the song with the promise of 2 Samuel 7. The poem functions as a theological interpretation of the reign: God is the ultimate source of victory and Davidic continuity.

Den Kindern der Fremde hat's wider mich gefehlt; sie gehorchen mir mit gehorsamen Ohren.
Los extraños titubeaban a mí: En oyendo, me obedecían.
Les fils de l'étranger me flattent, Ils m'obéissent au premier ordre.
Gli stranieri si sono infinti inverso me; Al solo udire degli orecchi, si son renduti ubbidienti a me.
Os filhos de estranhos se me sujeitaram; ouvindo a minha voz, me obedeceram.
外邦人要向我投降, 一聽見我的名聲就必順從我。
