Psalms 59:1-9

• [Psa 59:2] Protect And Save Me, O My God

  Protect and save me, O my God, From foes that seek my life, And set me high, secure, above The rising tide of strife. The workers of iniquity Against me lie in wait; Though I am innocent, O Lord, They gather in their hate. Behold their wickedness, O Lord, To help me, O awake; Lord God of hosts, Thou, Israel’s God, Arise, and vengeance take. My enemies with deadly rage Renew their fierce attack; They think the Lord will not regard, But Thou wilt turn them back. O God, my Strength, on Thee I wait, To Thee for refuge flee; My God with mercy will defend, Triumphant I shall be. O God, our Shield, let wickedness And pride be put to shame, Till all shall know that Thou dost rule And all shall fear Thy Name. Let wickedness that raged in power Now rage in impotence; But I will glory in Thy strength, My Refuge and Defense. When all the night of woe is past And morning dawns at length, Then I shall praise Thy grace, O God, My Refuge and my Strength. To Thee, O God most merciful, My thankful song I raise; My Might, my strong, secure Abode, I will proclaim Thy praise.

• [Psa 59:3] I Am Hated, Lord

  I am hated, Lord, by those Who Thy holy truth despise; Save me from my wicked foes, Lord of hosts, arise, arise! Thou’rt my rock and my defense; Thou a tower unto Thy saints; Thee I make my confidence, Thee I’ll trust, though nature faints. Glad Thy mercies will I sing, All Thy power and love confess; Thou hast been, O heavenly King, My safe refuge in distress! Songs with every morning’s light, Lord, shall rise up to Thy throne; All Thy saints shall praise Thy might, And Thy mercy shall make known.
