O My God Save Me

O Lord, how many are my foes,
Many are rising against me;
Many are added to my woes,
Much farther than my eyes can see.

Many are saying of my soul,
There is no salvation in God;
And that the devil has control,
Which has caused me to become flawed.

But You are a shield about me,
Glory and lifter of my head;
You open my eyes that I see,
Your wisdom that my mind is fed.

I cry aloud to You O Lord,
You answered from Your holy hill;
I have worshipped You and adored.
For You sustaining Israel.

I had laid down so I could sleep,
And then woke up when You fed me;
Vim and vigor caused me to leap,
Jumping for joy on Your decree.

I will not be afraid of those,
Who set against me round about;
For as sure as the river flows,
My confidence will hold no doubt.

Arise, O Lord and rescue me,
As You strike my foes on the face;
Breaking their teeth making them flee,
Will be leaving in such disgrace.

Salvation belongs to the Lord,
Your blessings be on Your people;
Singing to You in one accord,
And worshipping in Your temple.
