Psalm 118:5-14
English Standard Version
5 (A)Out of my distress I (B)called on the Lord;
the Lord answered me and set me (C)free.
6 (D)The Lord is on my side; (E)I will not fear.
What can man do to me?
7 (F)The Lord is on my side as my helper;
I shall (G)look in triumph on those who hate me.
8 (H)It is better to take refuge in the Lord
(I)than to trust in man.
9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
(J)than to trust in princes.
10 (K)All nations surrounded me;
in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
11 They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side;
in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
12 (L)They surrounded me like bees;
they went out like (M)a fire among thorns;
in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
13 I was (N)pushed hard,[a] so that I was falling,
but the Lord helped me.
14 The Lord is my strength and my song;
(O)he has become my salvation.
