Psalms 118:5-16<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pushed to the wall, I called to God<\/span>;
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0from the wide open spaces, he answered.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0God<\/span>‘s now at my side and I’m not afraid;
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0who would dare lay a hand on me?
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0God<\/span>‘s my strong champion;
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0I flick off my enemies like flies.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Far better to take refuge in God<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0than trust in people;
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Far better to take refuge in God<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0than trust in celebrities.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Hemmed in by barbarians,
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0in God<\/span>‘s name I rubbed their faces in the dirt;
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Hemmed in and with no way out,
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0in God<\/span>‘s name I rubbed their faces in the dirt;
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Like swarming bees, like wild prairie fire, they hemmed me in;
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0in God<\/span>‘s name I rubbed their faces in the dirt.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0I was right on the cliff-edge, ready to fall,
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0when God <\/span>grabbed and held me.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0God’s my strength, he’s also my song,
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and now he’s my salvation.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Hear the shouts, hear the triumph songs
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0in the camp of the saved?
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0“The hand of God<\/span> has turned the tide!
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The hand of God <\/span>is raised in victory!
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The hand of God<\/span> has turned the tide!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
