12. They swarmed about me like bees, they blaze up and are extinguished like a fire of thorns; in the name of the Lord I will cut them off! [Deut. 1:44.]
13. You [my adversary] thrust sorely at me that I might fall, but the Lord helped me.
14. The Lord is my Strength and Song; and He has become my Salvation.
15. The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents and private dwellings of the [uncompromisingly] righteous: the right hand of the Lord does valiantly and achieves strength!
16. The right hand of the Lord is exalted; the right hand of the Lord does valiantly and achieves strength!
17. I shall not die but live, and shall declare the works and recount the illustrious acts of the Lord.
