The Psalter ‎#162

162. God our Strength

1 My soul in silence waits for God,
My Saviour He has proved;
He only is my rock and tow'r;
I never shall be moved.
My honor is secure with God,
My Saviour He is known;
My refuge and my rock of strength
Are found in God alone.

2 For God has spoken o'er and o'er,
And unto me has shown,
That saving pow'r and lasting strength
Belong to Him alone.
Yea, loving-kindness evermore
Belongs to Thee, O Lord;
And Thou according to his work
Dost ev'ry man reward.
