New Century Version

Psalms 118:10-18 New Century Version (NCV)

10. All the nations surrounded me,but I defeated them in the name of the Lord.

11. They surrounded me on every side,but with the Lord’s power I defeated them.

12. They surrounded me like a swarm of bees,but they died as quickly as thorns burn.By the Lord’s power, I defeated them.

13. They chased me until I was almost defeated,but the Lord helped me.

14. The Lord gives me strength and a song.He has saved me.

15. Shouts of joy and victorycome from the tents of those who do right:“The Lord has done powerful things.”

16. The power of the Lord has won the victory;with his power the Lord has done mighty things.

17. I will not die, but live,and I will tell what the Lord has done.

18. The Lord has taught me a hard lesson,but he did not let me die.
