9 It is better to trust the Lordthan to trust princes.
10 All the nations surrounded me,but I defeated them in the name of the Lord.
11 They surrounded me on every side,but with the Lord’s power I defeated them.
12 They surrounded me like a swarm of bees,but they died as quickly as thorns burn.By the Lord’s power, I defeated them.
13 They chased me until I was almost defeated,but the Lord helped me.
14 The Lord gives me strength and a song.He has saved me.
15 Shouts of joy and victorycome from the tents of those who do right:“The Lord has done powerful things.”
