Psalms 118:7-17 New English Translation (NET)

7. The Lord is on my side as my helper.I look in triumph on those who hate me.

8. It is better to take shelter in the Lordthan to trust in people.

9. It is better to take shelter in the Lordthan to trust in princes.

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.

13. “You aggressively attacked me and tried to knock me down,but the Lord helped me.

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

15. They celebrate deliverance in the tents of the godly.The Lord’s right hand conquers,

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

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