9 It is better to trust in the Lordthan to depend on human leaders.
10 Many enemies were round me;but I destroyed them by the power of the Lord!
11 They were round me on every side;but I destroyed them by the power of the Lord!
12 They swarmed round me like bees,but they burnt out as quickly as a fire among thorns;by the power of the Lord I destroyed them.
13 I was fiercely attacked and was being defeated,but the Lord helped me.
14 The Lord makes me powerful and strong;he has saved me.
