Psalm 118 5-13

5 In my distress I called to the Lord;
he answered me and set me free.

6 The Lord is with me, I will not be afraid;
what can anyone do to me?

7 It is the Lord who helps me,
and I will see my enemies defeated.

8 It is better to trust in the Lord
than to depend on people.

9 It is better to trust in the Lord
than to depend on human leaders.

10 Many enemies were around me;
but I destroyed them by the power of the Lord!

11 They were around me on every side;
but I destroyed them by the power of the Lord!

12 They swarmed around me like bees,
but they burned out as quickly as a brush fire;
by the power of the Lord I destroyed them.

13 I was fiercely attacked and was being defeated,
but the Lord helped me.

14 The Lord makes me powerful and strong;
he has saved me.
