Enemies surrounded me\par like a swarm of bees.\par But, they were quickly finished\par like a fast burning bush.\par I defeated them with the Lord’s power.\par
Bad people have destroyed my people.\par And those bad people don’t know God.\par Bad people have plenty of food to eat. {\cf2\super [76]} \par And they don’t even worship the Lord.\par
\{My enemies were trying to kill me!\}\par The ropes of death were all around me.\par I was caught in a flood carrying me to that place of death. {\cf2\super [100]} \par
The “dogs” are all around me.\par That pack {\cf2\super [128]} of evil people\par has trapped me.\par Like a lion, \{they have pierced\}\par my hands and my feet.” {\cf2\super [129]} \par
Lord, get up! {\cf2\super [10]} \par My God, come rescue me!\par \{You are very strong!\}\par If you hit my bad enemies on the cheek,\par you will break all their teeth.\par
God says,\par “Surely those evil people know the truth!\par But they don’t pray to me.\par Evil people are as ready to destroy\par my people as they are to eat food.”\par
