10 (A)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 (B)They surrounded me like bees;
    they went out like (C)a fire among thorns;
    in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
13 I was (D)pushed hard,[a] so that I was falling,
    but the Lord helped me.

14 The Lord is my strength and my song;
    (E)he has become my salvation.
15 Glad songs of salvation
    are in the tents of the righteous:
(F)“The right hand of the Lord (G)does valiantly,
16     the right hand of the Lord exalts,
    the right hand of the Lord (H)does valiantly!”

17 (I)I shall not die, but I shall live,
    and (J)recount the deeds of the Lord.
18 The Lord has (K)disciplined me severely,
    but he has not given me over to death.
