Psalm 118:13

Verse 13 of 29. The 118th of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.

9It is better to take refuge in the LORD, than to put confidence in princes.

10All the nations surrounded me, but in the LORD’s name I cut them off.

11They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me. In the LORD’s name I indeed cut them off.

12They surrounded me like bees. They are quenched like the burning thorns. In the LORD’s name I cut them off.

13You pushed me back hard, to make me fall, but the LORD helped me.

14The LORD is my strength and song. He has become my salvation.

15The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous. “The right hand of the LORD does valiantly.

16The right hand of the LORD is exalted! The right hand of the LORD does valiantly!”

17I will not die, but live, and declare the LORD’s works.
