Psalm 118:10

Contemporary English Version 1995

Nations surrounded me, but I got rid of them by the power of the Lord.

See the chapter Copy

that strike each day and from every side.

You made my enemies run, and I killed them.

But I will turn Jerusalem into a heavy stone that crushes anyone who tries to lift it. When all nations on earth surround Jerusalem,

They cried out for help, but no one saved them; they called out to you, but there was no answer.

My friends and neighbors have turned against me because of you, and now darkness is my only companion.
