Once I was hemmed in and surrounded by those who don’t love you. But by Yahweh’s supernatural power I overcame them all!
I’m drowning beneath the waves of this sorrow, cut off with no one to help.
You’ve made them all turn tail and run, for through you I’ve destroyed them all!
All these kings and their enormous armies joined forces and encamped at Lake Merom to fight against Israel.
They shouted for help, but no one dared to rescue them. They cried out to Yahweh, but he refused to answer them.
All my loved ones and friends keep far away from me, leaving me all alone with only darkness as my friend.
