|
|
<p>Be Thou my Helper in the strife,<br>
|
|
O Lord, my strong Defender be;<br>
|
|
Thy mighty shield protect my life,<br>
|
|
Thy spear confront the enemy.<br>
|
|
Amid the conflict, O my Lord,<br>
|
|
Thy precious promise let me hear,<br>
|
|
The faithful reassuring word:<br>
|
|
I am Thy Savior, do not fear.</p>
|
|
<p>Ashamed, confounded let them be<br>
|
|
Who seek my ruin and disgrace;<br>
|
|
O let Thine angel fight for me,<br>
|
|
And drive my foes before his face.<br>
|
|
Without a cause my life they sought,<br>
|
|
Without a cause their plots they laid;<br>
|
|
Themselves within their snares be caught,<br>
|
|
And be my crafty foes dismayed.</p>
|
|
<p>My soul is joyful in the Lord,<br>
|
|
In His salvation I rejoice;<br>
|
|
To Him my heart will praise accord<br>
|
|
And bless His Name with thankful voice.<br>
|
|
For who, O Lord, is like to Thee,<br>
|
|
Defender of the poor and meek?<br>
|
|
The needy Thy salvation see<br>
|
|
When mighty foes their ruin seek.</p>
|
|
<p>Unrighteous witnesses have stood<br>
|
|
And told of crimes beyond belief;<br>
|
|
Returning evil for my good,<br>
|
|
They overwhelm my soul with grief.<br>
|
|
When in affliction they were sad,<br>
|
|
I wept and made their grief my own;<br>
|
|
But in my trouble they are glad<br>
|
|
And strive that I may be o’erthrown.</p>
|
|
<p>O Lord, how long wilt Thou delay?<br>
|
|
My soul for Thy salvation waits;<br>
|
|
My thankfulness will I display<br>
|
|
Amid the crowds that throng Thy gates.<br>
|
|
Let not my enemies rejoice<br>
|
|
And wrongfully exult o’er me;<br>
|
|
They speak not peace, but lift their voice<br>
|
|
To trouble those that peaceful be.</p>
|
|
<p>My foes with joy my woes survey,<br>
|
|
But Thou, O Lord, hast seen it all;<br>
|
|
O be no longer far away,<br>
|
|
Nor silent when on Thee I call.<br>
|
|
O haste to my deliverance now,<br>
|
|
O Lord, my righteous cause maintain;<br>
|
|
My Lord and God alone art Thou;<br>
|
|
Awake, and make Thy justice plain.</p>
|
|
<p>O Lord, my God, I look to Thee,<br>
|
|
Be Thou my righteous Judge, I pray;<br>
|
|
Let not my foes exult o’er me<br>
|
|
And laugh with joy at my dismay.<br>
|
|
With shame and trouble those requite<br>
|
|
Who would my righteous cause destroy;<br>
|
|
But those who in the good delight,<br>
|
|
Let them be glad and shout for joy.</p>
|
|
<p>Yea, let the Lord be magnified,<br>
|
|
Because Thy servants Thou dost bless;<br>
|
|
And I, from morn till eventide,<br>
|
|
Will daily praise Thy righteousness.<br>
|
|
My soul is joyful in the Lord,<br>
|
|
In His salvation I rejoice;<br>
|
|
To Him my heart will praise accord<br>
|
|
And bless His Name with thankful voice.</p>
