Psalms 118:8-14 New Century Version (NCV)

8. It is better to trust the Lordthan to trust people.

9. It is better to trust the Lordthan to trust princes.

10. All the nations surrounded me,but I defeated them in the name of the Lord.

11. They surrounded me on every side,but with the Lord’s power I defeated them.

12. They surrounded me like a swarm of bees,but they died as quickly as thorns burn.By the Lord’s power, I defeated them.

13. They chased me until I was almost defeated,but the Lord helped me.

14. The Lord gives me strength and a song.He has saved me.
