Psalms 118:8-12 God's Steadfast Love Endures Forever

8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in man.

9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in princes.

10 All the nations surrounded me,
but in the name of the Lord I cut them off.

11 They surrounded me on every side,
but in the name of the Lord I cut them off.

12 They swarmed around me like bees,
but they died out as quickly as burning thorns;
in the name of the Lord I cut them off.
