12. They surrounded me like bees.They are quenched like the burning thorns.In the Lord’s name I cut them off.
13. You pushed me back hard, to make me fall,but the Lord helped me.
14. The Lord is my strength and song.He has become my salvation [yeshu`ah].
15. The voice of rejoicing and salvation [yeshu`ah] is in the tents of the righteous.“The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
16. The right hand of the Lord is exalted!The right hand of the Lord does valiantly!”
17. I will not die, but live,and declare the Lord’s works.
18. The Lord has punished me severely,but he has not given me over to death.
