5 When I was in great pain, I cried out to the Lord. He answered me and set me free.
6 The Lord is with me. I will not be afraid. What can mere men do to me?
7 The Lord is with me. He helps me. I will win the battle over my enemies.
8 It is better to go to the Lord for safety than to trust in mere men.
9 It is better to go to the Lord for safety than to trust in human leaders.
10 The nations were all around me. But by the Lord's power I destroyed them.
11 They were around me on every side. But by the Lord's power I destroyed them.
