7 The Lord is with me as my helper;I shall look in triumph on my foes.
8 Better to take refuge in the Lordthan to put one’s trust in mortals.
9 Better to take refuge in the Lordthan to put one’s trust in princes.
10 All the nations surrounded me;in the Lord’s name I cut them off.
11 They surrounded me on every side;in the Lord’s name I cut them off.
12 They surrounded me like bees;they burned up like fire among thorns;in the Lord’s name I cut them off.
13 I was hard pressed and falling,but the Lord came to my help.
