Psalms 118:11-20 Modern English Version (MEV)

11. They circled me; indeed, they surroundedme,but in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.

12. They circled me like bees;they went forth as a fire over thorns,but in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.

13. You have pushed against me, that I was falling,but the Lord helped me.

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

15. The voice of rejoicing and salvationis in the tents of the righteous:“The right hand of the Lord is valiant.

16. The right hand of the Lord is exalted;the right hand of the Lord is valiant.”

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

18. The Lord has severely chastened me,but He has not given me over unto death.

19. Open to me the gates of righteousness;I will go into them, and I will praise the Lord.

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