Psalms

Psalm 118:10–13

10All the nations surrounded me,

but in the name of the LORD I cut them off.

11They surrounded me on every side,

but in the name of the LORD I cut them off.

12They swarmed around me like bees,

but they were extinguished like burning thorns;

in the name of the LORD I cut them off.

13I was pushed so hard I was falling,

but the LORD helped me.
