Psalm 118:8-14
English Standard Version
Psalm 118:8-14
English Standard Version
8 (A)It is better to take refuge in the Lord
(B)than to trust in man.
9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
(C)than to trust in princes.
10 (D)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 (E)They surrounded me like bees;
they went out like (F)a fire among thorns;
in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
13 I was (G)pushed hard,[a] so that I was falling,
but the Lord helped me.
14 The Lord is my strength and my song;
(H)he has become my salvation.
