New International Version

Psalm 118:11-17 New International Version (NIV)

11. They surrounded me on every side, but in the name of the Lord I cut them down.

12. They swarmed around me like bees, but they were consumed as quickly as burning thorns; in the name of the Lord I cut them down.

13. I was pushed back and about to fall, but the Lord helped me.

14. The Lord is my strength and my defense ; he has become my salvation.

15. Shouts of joy and victory resound in the tents of the righteous: “The Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!

16. The Lord’s right hand is lifted high; the Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!”

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