12 They swarmed around me like bees,

but they were consumed as quickly as burning thorns;

in the name of the Lord I cut them down.

12 They surrounded me like bees;

they went out like a fire among thorns;

in the name of the Lord I cut them off!

12 They swarmed around me like bees;

they blazed against me like a crackling fire.

But I destroyed them all with the authority of the Lord.

12 They surrounded me like bees;

They were quenched like a fire of thorns;

For in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.

12 They surrounded me like a swarm of bees,

but they died as quickly as thorns burn.

By the Lord’s power, I defeated them.

12 They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns:

In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.

12 They encompassed me like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them.

12 They swarmed around me like bees, 

but they were extinguished like burning thornbushes. 

⸤So armed⸥ with the name of the Lord, I defeated them. 

12 They surrounded me like bees;

they were extinguished like a fire among thorns;

in the name of Yahweh I destroyed them.

12 They surrounded me like bees;

they blazed like a fire of thorns;

in the name of the Lord I cut them off!

12 They surrounded me like bees;

they were extinguished like a fire of thorns.

In the name of Yahweh I opposed them indeed.

12 They attacked me like large numbers of bees.

But they died out as quickly as burning thorns.

By the Lord’s power I destroyed them.

12 They surrounded me like bees;

They were extinguished as a fire of thorns;

In the name of the Lord I will surely cut them off.
