Lyrics
The LORD repaid me for my godly deeds He rewarded my blameless behavior For I have obeyed the LORD’s commands I have not rebelled against my God
For I am aware of all his regulations And I do not reject his rules I was innocent before him And kept myself from sinning
The LORD rewarded me for my godly deeds He took notice of my blameless behavior
You prove to be loyal To one who is faithful You prove to be trustworthy To one who is innocent
You prove to be reliable To one who is blameless But you prove twisted with the twisted
For you deliver oppressed people But you bring down the proud
Indeed, you light my lamp, LORD My God illuminates The darkness around me
Indeed, with your help I can charge against an army By my God’s power I can jump over a wall
The one true God Acts in a faithful manner The LORD’s promise is reliable He is a shield to all Who take shelter in him
Indeed, who is God besides the LORD? Who is a protector besides our God?
The one true God gives me strength He removes the obstacles in my way He gives me the agility of a deer He enables me to negotiate The rugged terrain
He trains my hands for battle My arms can bend Even the strongest bow
You give me your protective shield Your right hand supports me Your willingness to help Enables me to prevail
You widen my path My feet do not slip
I chase my enemies and catch them I do not turn back Until I wipe them out
I beat them to death They fall at my feet
You give me strength for battle You make my foes kneel before me You make my enemies retreat I destroy those who hate me
They cry out But there is no one to help them They cry out to the LORD But he does not answer them
I grind them as fine wind-blown dust I beat them under foot Like clay in the streets
You rescue me from a hostile army You make me a leader of nations People over whom I had no authority Are now my subjects
When they hear of my exploits They submit to me Foreigners are powerless before me Foreigners lose their courage
They shake with fear As they leave their strongholds
The LORD is alive! My Protector is praiseworthy The God who delivers me Is exalted as king
The LORD is alive! The one true God Completely vindicates me He makes nations submit to me He delivers me from my enemies
You snatch me away From those who attack me You rescue me from violent men
So I will give you thanks Before the nations, O LORD I will sing praises to you
He gives his king magnificent victories He is faithful to his anointed To David and his descendants Forever
Wide open place Wide open place He brought me out Into a wide open place
