Salmene 118,12

10 Alle folkeslag omringet meg;
I Herrens navn vil jeg sikkert slå dem tilbake.

11 De omringet meg, ja, de omringet meg;
I Herrens navn vil jeg sikkert slå dem tilbake.

De svermet rundt meg som bier;
De ble slukket som en ild blant torner;
I Herrens navn vil jeg sikkert slå dem tilbake.

13 Du presset meg hardt for å få meg til å falle,
Men Herren støttet meg.

14 Herren er min styrke og min sang,
Og han har blitt min frelse.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
