6 The Lord is on my side,and I am not afraidof what others can do to me.
7 With the Lord on my side,I will defeat allof my hateful enemies.
8 It is better to trust the Lordfor protectionthan to trust anyone else,
9 including strong leaders.
10 Nations surrounded me,but I got rid of themby the power of the Lord.
11 They attacked from all sides,but I got rid of themby the power of the Lord.
12 They swarmed around like bees,but by the power of the Lord,I got rid of themand their fiery sting.
