“Thank You for Being Here”

Psalm 118:5-14

⁵ In tight circumstances, I cried out to the LORD. The LORD answered me with wide-open spaces. ⁶ The LORD is for me—I won’t be afraid. What can anyone do to me? ⁷ The LORD is for me—as my helper. I look in victory on those who hate me. ⁸ It’s far better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust any human. ⁹ It’s far better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust any human leader. ¹⁰ All the nations surrounded me, but I cut them down in the LORD’s name. ¹¹ Yes, they surrounded me on every single side, but I cut them down in the LORD’s name. ¹² They surrounded me like bees, but they were extinguished like burning thorns. I cut them down in the LORD’s name! ¹³ I was pushed so hard I nearly died, but the LORD helped me. ¹⁴ The LORD was my strength and protection; he was my saving help!
