Psalms 118:12-18 They swarmed around me like bees, but they were extinguished like burning thorns; in the name of the LORD I cut them off.

MSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² They swarmed around me like bees, but they were extinguished like burning thorns; in the name of the LORD I cut them off. ¹³ I was pushed so hard I was falling, but the LORD helped me. ¹⁴ The LORD is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation. ¹⁵ Shouts of joy and salvation resound in the tents of the righteous: “The right hand of the LORD performs with valor! ¹⁶ The right hand of the LORD is exalted! The right hand of the LORD performs with valor!” ¹⁷ I will not die, but I will live and proclaim what the LORD has done. ¹⁸ The LORD disciplined me severely, but He has not given me over to death.
