“His mercy endures forever.”

The Lord answered me and ^bset me in a broad place.

6 ^aThe Lord is on my side;
I will not fear.

Than to put confidence in princes.

But in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.

11 They ^asurrounded me,
Yes, they surrounded me;
But in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
