118:10 All the nations surrounded me. Indeed, in the name of the LORD I pushed them away.
118:11 They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me. Indeed, in the name of the LORD I pushed them away.
118:12 They surrounded me like bees. But they disappeared as quickly as a fire among thorns. Indeed, in the name of the LORD I pushed them away.
118:13 "You aggressively attacked me and tried to knock me down, but the LORD helped me.

118:21 I will give you thanks, for you answered me, and have become my deliverer.
