They cómpassed me abóut like bées;
they blázed like a fíre among thórns.
In the Lórd’s name I crúshed them.
8
It is bétter to take réfuge in the Lórd
than to trúst in mén:
9
it is bétter to take réfuge in the Lórd
than to trúst in prínces.

The Lórd’s right hánd has tríumphed; [5]

16
his ríght hand ráised me.
The Lórd’s right hánd has tríumphed;
17
I shall not díe, I shall líve
and recóunt his déeds.
2
Let the sóns of Ísrael sáy: [6]
‘His lóve endures for éver.’
3
Let the sóns of Áaron sáy:
‘His lóve endures for éver.’
