12. They surrounded me like bees;they went out like a fire among thorns;in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
13. I was pushed hard, so that I was falling,but the Lord helped me.
14. The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.
15. Glad songs of salvationare in the tents of the righteous: “The right hand of the Lord does valiantly,
16. the right hand of the Lord exalts,the right hand of the Lord does valiantly!”
17. I shall not die, but I shall live,and recount the deeds of the Lord.
18. The Lord has disciplined me severely,but he has not given me over to death.
