Psalms 118:11-16 Common English Bible (CEB)

11. Yes, they surrounded me on every single side,but I cut them down in the Lord’s name.

12. They surrounded me like bees,but they were extinguished like burning thorns.I cut them down in the Lord’s name!

13. I was pushed so hard I nearly died,but the Lord helped me.

14. The Lord was my strength and protection;he was my saving help!

15. The sounds of joyful songs and deliveranceare heard in the tents of the righteous:"The Lord’s strong hand is victorious!

16. The Lord’s strong hand is ready to strike!The Lord’s strong hand is victorious!"
