Psalm 118:5-14
New International Version
5 When hard pressed,(A) I cried to the Lord;
he brought me into a spacious place.(B)
6 The Lord is with me;(C) I will not be afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?(D)
7 The Lord is with me; he is my helper.(E)
I look in triumph on my enemies.(F)
8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord(G)
than to trust in humans.(H)
9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in princes.(I)
10 All the nations surrounded me,
but in the name of the Lord I cut them down.(J)
11 They surrounded me(K) on every side,(L)
but in the name of the Lord I cut them down.
12 They swarmed around me like bees,(M)
but they were consumed as quickly as burning thorns;(N)
in the name of the Lord I cut them down.(O)
13 I was pushed back and about to fall,
but the Lord helped me.(P)
14 The Lord is my strength(Q) and my defense[a];
he has become my salvation.(R)
