Psalm 118:7-12 - Heartlight

⁷The LORD is on my side; He is my helper.

Therefore I will look in triumph on those who hate me.

⁸It is better to take refuge in the LORD

than to trust in man.

⁹It is better to take refuge in the LORD

than to trust in princes.

¹⁰All the nations surrounded me,

but in the name of the LORD I cut them off.

¹¹They surrounded me on every side,

but in the name of the LORD I cut them off.

¹²They swarmed around me like bees,

but they were extinguished like burning thorns;

in the name of the LORD I cut them off.
