Psalm 118:5-9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
II
5 In danger I called on the Lord;
the Lord answered me and set me free.
6 The Lord is with me; I am not afraid;
what can mortals do against me?(A)
7 The Lord is with me as my helper;
I shall look in triumph on my foes.
8 Better to take refuge in the Lord(B)
than to put one’s trust in mortals.
9 Better to take refuge in the Lord
than to put one’s trust in princes.
