Psalms 118:10–14 · Berean Standard Bible

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

12 They swarmed around me like bees, but they were extinguished like burning thorns; in the name of the LORD I cut them off.

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