10. All the nations surrounded me.Indeed, in the name of the Lord I pushed them away.

11. They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me.Indeed, in the name of the Lord I pushed them away.

12. They surrounded me like bees.But they disappeared as quickly as a fire among thorns.Indeed, in the name of the Lord I pushed them away.

14. The Lord gives me strength and protects me;he has become my deliverer.”

16. the Lord’s right hand gives victory,the Lord’s right hand conquers.
