“Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.”
The assertion that God has delivered the speaker from the strivings of the people and made him the head of nations establishes both rescue from opposition and elevation to authority. The mention of peoples suggests that opposition came from organized forces. The making of the speaker head of nations suggests comprehensive elevation and dominion. This verse depicts the speaker's triumph as affecting multiple nations.
