Psalms 118:7-12

118:7 The Lord is on my side as my helper.

I look in triumph on those who hate me.

118:8 It is better to take shelter in the Lord

than to trust in people.

118:9 It is better to take shelter in the Lord

than to trust in princes.

118:10 All the nations surrounded me.

Indeed, in the name of the Lord I pushed them away.

118:11 They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me.

Indeed, in the name of the Lord I pushed them away.

118:12 They surrounded me like bees.

But they disappeared as quickly as a fire among thorns.

Indeed, in the name of the Lord I pushed them away.
