Lyrics

O Lord, how ma­ny they
Who deep­ly trou­ble me;
How great­ly are they mul­ti­plied
Who do me in­ju­ry.

There is no help for him,
No help in God, they say;
Thou art my shield and glo­ry, Lord,
Thou art my cer­tain stay.

I called to God, He heard
From out His ho­ly hill.
I fell asleep, I woke in peace,
For He sus­tained me still.

Arise and save, O Lord,
For Thou didst smite my foe.
Salvation com­eth from the Lord;
His saints His bless­ings know.
