Lyrics

I will love You, O LORD, my strength


I will love You, O LORD, my strength


My rock, my fortress, my rescuer


I will love You, O LORD, my strength


I will love You, O LORD, my strength


My God, my strength, in whom I trust


My shield and the power that saved me


My stronghold


I will call upon the LORD


Who is worthy to be praised


Then I will be saved from my enemies


The cords of death were wrapped around me


The floods of ungodliness made me afraid


The sorrows of hell surrounded me


And I was taunted by the jaws of death


And in my anguish, I called on Yahweh


My cry came before Him


Into His temple


And when my cry came to His ears


Then the earth shook and trembled


And the foundations of the mountains quaked because He was angry


Smoke rose from His nostrils


Devouring fire came from His mouth


Coals were kindled by it


He ripped open the skies and came down


With darkness under His feet


He was riding on a cherub


And He flew upon the wings of the wind


His covering was darkness and storm clouds of the skies


From the brightness before Him, hailstones and coals of fire thundered from the clouds


Yahweh thundered His voice from the heavens


Hailstones and coals of fire


He sent His arrows and scattered the foe


And He routed them with lightning bolts


And the channels of the sea were seen


The foundations of the earth laid bare


With just a blast of His nostrils


At His rebuke He sent for me


He drew me out of many waters


Yahweh rescued me from my foes, for they were too strong for me


They attacked me when I was weak, but the LORD came and strengthened me


He lifted me out of their midst


And He brought me to a peaceful place


He rescued me because He delights in me


Because He delights in me


Because He delights in me


He set me free because He delights in me


He delights in me


He set me free because He delights in me


He delights in me


He set me free because He delights in me


He delights in me


He set me free because He delights in me


He delights in me


The LORD dealt with me according to my righteousness


According to the cleanness of my hands, He rewarded me


For I have kept the ways of the LORD


And I have not wickedly departed from my God


I've kept His law right before me


And His statutes I have not put away


I've remained in a blameless state before Him


The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness


In His sight


In His sight


In His sight


With the merciful, You show Yourself merciful


With the blameless man, You show Yourself blameless


With the purified, You show Yourself pure


With the devious, You show Yourself shrewd


For You save the humble in heart


But You set Yourself against the proud


It's You who lights my lamp


The LORD my God illumines my darkness


Illumines my darkness


Illumines my darkness


For by You I can run through an army


By You I can leap over a wall


God's ways are perfect


His Word is proven


He is a shield to all who trust in Him


For who is God but the LORD?


And who is a rock besides our God?


The God who arms me with strength


And makes my way secure


He is a shield to all who trust in Him


He makes my feet like deer's feet


And sets me upon high places


He makes my feet like deer's feet


And sets me upon high places


He makes my feet like deer's feet


And sets me on my high places


There's nothing that I can't do


When Yahweh's power is with me


He trains my hands for war


So I can bend a bow of bronze


He gives to me His shield


The shield of His salvation


His sovereign hand holds me up


And His gentleness has made me great


He clears the ground before me


So that my feet will never slip 


I chased my enemies and took them down


And I didn't stop till I had won


I finished them so they could not rise


And they fell down at my feet


For You have armed me with strength


And subdued my foes under me


Those who tried to destroy me and hated me


Are silent now, You've given me the victory 


They cried for help, but there was none to save


To the LORD, but He ignored their plea


Then I beat them as fine as the dust


I cast them out like dirt in the streets


You've delivered me from their hate


And You've made me king of all the land


Now my enemies fear me


They come trembling out of their palaces in holy fear


Yahweh is alive


Blessed be my rock


May the God of my salvation be exalted


The God who gave me vengeance


And subdued my foes under me


Who delivered me from my enemies


He raised me above those who hated me


And He rescued me from violent men


For all this, I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations


And I will sing to Your name


Great victory He gives to His king


And He shows steadfast love


To His anointed ones


To David and his descendants


Forevermore
