8 It is better to take refuge in Adonai than to trust in man.
9 It is better to take refuge in Adonai than to trust in princes.
10 All nations surrounded me— in the Name of Adonai I cut them off.
11 They surrounded me, yes, all around me— in the Name of Adonai I cut them off.
12 They swarmed around me like bees— they were extinguished like burning thorns— in the Name of Adonai I cut them off.
13 You pushed me hard to make me fall, but Adonai helped me.
14 Adonai is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation.
