(A)The Lord is on my side; (B)I will not fear.
    What can man do to me?
(C)The Lord is on my side as my helper;
    I shall (D)look in triumph on those who hate me.

(E)It is better to take refuge in the Lord
    (F)than to trust in man.
It is better to take refuge in the Lord
    (G)than to trust in princes.

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