Hymnal: PsH #59 (1987) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Protect and save me, O my God Lyrics: 1 Protect and save me, O my God,
from those who seek my life;
and set me high, secure, above
the rising tide of strife.
2 The workers of iniquity
against me lie in wait;
though I am innocent, O LORD,
they gather in their hate.
3 Now see their wickedness, O LORD;
come to my help, I plead.
LORD God of hosts, O Israel's God,
rise, help me in my need.
4 My enemies with deadly rage
renew their fierce attack.
They think the LORD will not regard,
but you will turn them back.
5 O God, my strength, on you I wait;
to you for help I flee.
My God with mercy will defend
his own triumphantly.
6 O Lord our shield, let wickedness
and pride be put to shame.
Then all will know that you do rule,
and all will fear your name.
7 Like dogs that prowl the city streets
my foes slink back at night.
They would devour my life like food,
but God will win the fight.
8 When all the night of woe is past
and morning dawns at length,
then I will praise you, loving God,
my refuge and my strength.
