11. They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about. They made a double ring; they not only talked of doing so, but they actually shut him up and enclosed him. His heart had vividly recalled his position of peril at the time, and now he delights to call it again to mind in order that he may the more ardently adore the mercy which made him strong in the hour of conflict, so that he broke through a troop, and swept a host to destruction. But in the name of the Lord will I destroy them. I will subdue them, get them under my feet, and break their power in pieces. He is as certain about the destruction of his enemies as he was assured of their having compassed him about. It is grand to hear a man speak in this fashion when it is not boasting, but the calm declaration of his heartfelt trust in God.
