8 It is better to take refuge in the Lordthan to trust in humans.
9 It is better to take refuge in the Lordthan to trust in princes.
10 All the nations surrounded me,but in the name of the Lord I cut them down.
11 They surrounded me on every side,but in the name of the Lord I cut them down.
12 They swarmed around me like bees,but they were consumed as quickly as burning thorns;in the name of the Lord I cut them down.
13 I was pushed back and about to fall,but the Lord helped me.
14 The Lord is my strength and my defence;he has become my salvation.
