12 They attacked me like large numbers of bees. But they died out as quickly as burning thorns. By the Lord's power I destroyed them.
13 I was pushed back. I was about to be killed. But the Lord helped me.
14 The Lord gives me strength. I sing about him. He has saved me.
15 Shouts of joy ring out in the tents of godly people. They praise him for his help in battle. They shout, "The Lord's powerful right hand has done mighty things!
16 The Lord's powerful right hand has won the battle! The Lord's powerful right hand has done mighty things!"
17 I will not die. I will live. I will talk about what the Lord has done.
18 The Lord has really punished me. But he didn't let me die.
