Psalms 118:9-20 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

10. All nations compassed me about: in the name of the Lord I will cut them off.

11. They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: in the name of the Lord I will cut them off.

12. They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: in the name of the Lord I will cut them off.

13. Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the Lord helped me.

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

15. The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.

16. The right hand of the Lord is exalted: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.

17. I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.

18. The Lord hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.

19. Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto the Lord.

20. This is the gate of the Lord; the righteous shall enter into it.
