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.
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.
