Psalms 118:11
Compare all
9 aIt is better to trust in the Lord
Than to put confidence in princes. 
10 All nations surrounded me,
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. 
12 They surrounded me alike bees;
They were quenched blike a fire of thorns;
For in the name of the Lord I will1 destroy them. 
13 You pushed me violently, that I might fall,
But the Lord helped me.
14 aThe Lord is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation. 
15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation
Is in the tents of the righteous;
The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
16 aThe right hand of the Lord is exalted;
The right hand of the Lord does valiantly. 
17 aI shall not die, but live,
And bdeclare the works of the Lord. 
18 The Lord has achastened me severely,
But He has not given me over to death.

Psalms 118:11

They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about ... - The sentiment and the language of the previous verse are here repeated, as if to give force to what he had said, or to deepen the impression. His own mind dwelt upon it, and the events to which he referred came so vividly to his recollection, and were so important, that he dwells upon them. The subject was worth more than a passing remark. The mind was full, and the language comes from an overflowing heart.
