Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.

Verse 46 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.

Die Kinder der Fremde sind verschmachtet und kommen mit Zittern aus ihren Burgen.
Los extraños desfallecían, Y temblaban en sus escondrijos.
Les fils de l'étranger sont en défaillance, Ils tremblent hors de leurs forteresses.
Gli stranieri son divenuti fiacchi, Ed hanno tremato di paura fin dentro i lor ricetti chiusi.
Os filhos de estranhos desfaleceram; e, cingindo-se, saíram dos seus esconderijos.
外邦人要喪膽, 戰戰兢兢地出營寨。
