6. The Lord is with me; I am not afraid;what can mortals do against me?
7. The Lord is with me as my helper;I shall look in triumph on my foes.
8. Better to take refuge in the Lordthan to put one’s trust in mortals.
9. Better to take refuge in the Lordthan to put one’s trust in princes.
10. All the nations surrounded me;in the Lord’s name I cut them off.
11. They surrounded me on every side;in the Lord’s name I cut them off.
12. They surrounded me like bees;they burned up like fire among thorns;in the Lord’s name I cut them off.
13. I was hard pressed and falling,but the Lord came to my help.
14. The Lord, my strength and might,has become my savior.
15. The joyful shout of deliveranceis heard in the tents of the righteous:“The Lord’s right hand works valiantly;
16. the Lord’s right hand is raised;the Lord’s right hand works valiantly.”
