Psalms 118:9-17
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 118
9It is better to take refuge in the Lord Than to trust in noblemen. 10All nations surrounded me; In the name of the Lord I will certainly fend them off. 11They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me; In the name of the Lord I will certainly fend them off. 12They surrounded me like bees; They were extinguished like a fire of thorn bushes; In the name of the Lord I will certainly fend them off. 13You pushed me violently so that I was falling, But the Lord helped me. 14 The Lord is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation. 15The sound of joyful shouting and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; The right hand of the Lord performs valiantly. 16The right hand of the Lord is exalted; The right hand of the Lord performs valiantly. 17I will not die, but live, And tell of the works of the Lord.King James Version

Chapter 118
9It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in nobles. 10All the nations surrounded me; in the name of the Lord I destroyed them. 11They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me; in the name of the Lord I destroyed them. 12They surrounded me like bees; they were extinguished like a fire among thorns; in the name of the Lord I destroyed them. 13They pushed me hard to make me fall, but the Lord helped me.
14The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.
15There are shouts of joy and victory in the tents of the righteous: "The Lord’s right hand performs valiantly!
16The Lord’s right hand is raised. The Lord’s right hand performs valiantly!"
17I will not die, but I will live and proclaim what the Lord has done.
New Living Translation
10Though hostile nations surrounded me, I destroyed them all with the authority of the Lord.
11Yes, they surrounded and attacked me, but I destroyed them all with the authority of the Lord.
12They swarmed around me like bees; they blazed against me like a crackling fire. But I destroyed them all with the authority of the Lord.
13My enemies did their best to kill me, but the Lord rescued me.
14The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory.
15Songs of joy and victory are sung in the camp of the godly. The strong right arm of the Lord has done glorious things!
16The strong right arm of the Lord is raised in triumph. The strong right arm of the Lord has done glorious things!
17I will not die; instead, I will live to tell what the Lord has done.

Chapter 118
9It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes. 10 All nations surrounded me; in the name of the Lord I cut them off! 11They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side; in the name of the Lord I cut them off! 12 They surrounded me like bees; they went out like a fire among thorns; in the name of the Lord I cut them off! 13I was pushed hard, so that I was falling, but the Lord helped me. 14The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. 15Glad songs of salvation are in the tents of the righteous: "The right hand of the Lord does valiantly, 16the right hand of the Lord exalts, the right hand of the Lord does valiantly!" 17 I shall not die, but I shall live, and recount the deeds of the Lord.New International Version
Chapter 118
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 down. 11They surrounded me on every side, but in the name of the Lord I cut them down. 12They swarmed around me like bees, but they were consumed as quickly as burning thorns; in the name of the Lord I cut them down. 13I was pushed back and about to fall, but the Lord helped me.
14The Lord is my strength and my defense ; he has become my salvation.
15Shouts of joy and victory resound in the tents of the righteous: "The Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!
16The Lord’s right hand is lifted high; the Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!"
17I will not die but live, and will proclaim what the Lord has done.
