New Century Version

Psalms 118:6-17 New Century Version (NCV)

6. I will not be afraid, because the Lord is with me.People can’t do anything to me.

7. The Lord is with me to help me,so I will see my enemies defeated.

8. It is better to trust the Lordthan to trust people.

9. It is better to trust the Lordthan to trust princes.

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.
