Psalms 118:12-26
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 118
12They surrounded me like bees; They were extinguished like a fire of thorn bushes; In the name of the Lord I will certainly fend them off. 13You pushed me violently so that I was falling, But the Lord helped me. 14 The Lord is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation. 15The sound of joyful shouting and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; The right hand of the Lord performs valiantly. 16The right hand of the Lord is exalted; The right hand of the Lord performs valiantly. 17I will not die, but live, And tell of the works of the Lord. 18 The Lord has disciplined me severely, But He has not turned me over to death. 19Open the gates of righteousness to me; I will enter through them, I will give thanks to the Lord. 20This is the gate of the Lord; The righteous will enter through it. 21I will give thanks to You, for You have answered me, And You have become my salvation. 22A stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone. 23This came about from the Lord; It is marvelous in our eyes. 24This is the day which the Lord has made; Let’s rejoice and be glad in it. 25Please, O Lord, do save us; Please, O Lord, do send prosperity! 26Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord; We have blessed you from the house of the Lord.King James Version

Chapter 118
12They surrounded me like bees; they were extinguished like a fire among thorns; in the name of the Lord I destroyed them. 13They pushed me hard to make me fall, but the Lord helped me.
14The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.
15There are shouts of joy and victory in the tents of the righteous: "The Lord’s right hand performs valiantly!
16The Lord’s right hand is raised. The Lord’s right hand performs valiantly!"
17I will not die, but I will live and proclaim what the Lord has done.
18The Lord disciplined me severely but did not give me over to death.
19Open the gates of righteousness for me; I will enter through them and give thanks to the Lord.
20This is the Lord’s gate; the righteous will enter through it.
21I will give thanks to you because you have answered me and have become my salvation.
22The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
23This came from the Lord; it is wondrous in our sight.
New Living Translation
Chapter 118
12They swarmed around me like bees; they blazed against me like a crackling fire. But I destroyed them all with the authority of the Lord. 13My enemies did their best to kill me, but the Lord rescued me. 14The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory. 15Songs of joy and victory are sung in the camp of the godly. The strong right arm of the Lord has done glorious things! 16The strong right arm of the Lord is raised in triumph. The strong right arm of the Lord has done glorious things! 17I will not die; instead, I will live to tell what the Lord has done. 18The Lord has punished me severely, but he did not let me die.
19Open for me the gates where the righteous enter, and I will go in and thank the Lord.
20These gates lead to the presence of the Lord, and the godly enter there.
21I thank you for answering my prayer and giving me victory!
22The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.
23This is the Lord’s doing, and it is wonderful to see.
24This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.
25Please, Lord, please save us. Please, Lord, please give us success.
26Bless the one who comes in the name of the Lord. We bless you from the house of the Lord.

12They swarmed around me like bees, but they were consumed as quickly as burning thorns; in the name of the Lord I cut them down. 13I was pushed back and about to fall, but the Lord helped me.
14The Lord is my strength and my defense ; he has become my salvation.
15Shouts of joy and victory resound in the tents of the righteous: "The Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!
16The Lord’s right hand is lifted high; the Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!"
17I will not die but live, and will proclaim what the Lord has done.
18The Lord has chastened me severely, but he has not given me over to death.
19Open for me the gates of the righteous; I will enter and give thanks to the Lord.
20This is the gate of the Lord through which the righteous may enter.
