Lyrics
To you, O LORD, I cry out My Protector, do not ignore me If you do not respond to me I will join those Who are descending into the grave
Hear my plea for mercy When I cry out to you for help When I lift my hands Toward your holy temple
Do not drag me away with evil men With those who behave wickedly Who talk so friendly to their neighbors While they plan to harm them
Pay them back for their evil deeds Pay them back for what they do Pay them back Punish them
For they do not understand The LORD’s actions Or the way he carries out justice The LORD will permanently demolish them
The LORD deserves praise He has heard my plea for mercy The LORD deserves praise He has heard my plea for mercy
The LORD strengthens and protects me I trust in him with all my heart I am rescued And my heart is full of joy I will sing to him in gratitude
The LORD strengthens his people He protects and delivers His chosen king
Deliver your people Empower the nation That belongs to you Care for them like a shepherd And carry them Carry them at all times
