Psalm 118:12-14

Revised Standard Version

¹²They surrounded me like bees,
    they blazed^[a] like a fire of thorns;
    in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
¹³I was pushed hard,^[b] so that I was falling,
    but the Lord helped me.
¹⁴The Lord is my strength and my song;
    he has become my salvation.
