Psalms 118:3-13 Modern English Version (MEV)

3. Let the house of Aaron say,“His mercy endures forever.”

4. Let those who fear the Lord say,“His mercy endures forever.”

5. I called upon the Lord from my distress;the Lord answered me and set me in an open place.

6. The Lord is on my side; I will not fear.What can people do to me?

7. The Lord is on my side to help me;I shall look in triumph upon those who hate me.

8. It is better to trust in the Lordthan to put confidence in man.

9. It is better to trust in the Lordthan to put confidence in princes.

10. All nations encircled me,but in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.

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.
