Psalm 118 — Psalms 118:8–14

    It is better to take refuge in Jehovah
Than to put confidence in man.
It is better to take refuge in Jehovah
Than to put confidence in princes.
PS 118:8–9

    All nations compassed me about:
In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.
They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about:
In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.
They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns:
In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.
PS 118:10–12

    Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall;
But Jehovah helped me.
Jehovah is my strength and song;
And he is become my salvation.
