Psalms 118:11 meaning and explanation
They surrounded me on every side, but in the name of the LORD I cut them off.
Psalms 118:11, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Psalm 118 is a thanksgiving song, and here the speaker repeats the report of verse 10 with a small variation. The Hebrew verb translated “cut them off” can also mean to circumcise or cut away, so the image is of hostile nations being removed, not of personal revenge.
