6 T he Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?

7 T he Lord is for me among those who help me; Therefore I shall see my desire on those who hate me.

10 A ll nations surrounded me, But in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.

11 T hey surrounded me, Yes, they surrounded me; But in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
