8 It is better to depend on the Lordthan to trust mortals.
9 It is better to depend on the Lordthan to trust influential people.
10 All the nations surrounded me,⌊but armed⌋ with the name of the Lord, I defeated them.
11 They surrounded me. Yes, they surrounded me,⌊but armed⌋ with the name of the Lord, I defeated them.
12 They swarmed around me like bees,but they were extinguished like burning thornbushes.⌊So armed⌋ with the name of the Lord, I defeated them.
13 They pushed hard to make me fall,but the Lord helped me.
14 The Lord is my strength and my song.He is my savior.
