The Lord is (A)for me; I will (B)not fear;
(C)What can man do to me?
The Lord is for me (D)among those who help me;
Therefore I will (E)look with satisfaction on those who hate me.
It is (F)better to take refuge in the Lord
Than to trust in people.
It is (G)better to take refuge in the Lord
Than to trust in noblemen.

10 All nations (H)surrounded me;
In the name of the Lord I will certainly (I)fend them off.
11 They (J)surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me;
In the name of the Lord I will certainly fend them off.
12 They surrounded me (K)like bees;
They were extinguished like a (L)fire of thorn bushes;
In the name of the Lord I will certainly fend them off.
13 You (M)pushed me violently so that I [a]was falling,
But the Lord (N)helped me.
14 [b](O)The Lord is my strength and song,
And He has become (P)my salvation.
