Lyrics

In You, O LORD, I take refuge


Don't let me be put to shame for trusting You


Do what's righteous and deliver me


Incline Your ear to me


And quickly come rescue me


Be a mighty rock that guards me


A fortress where I'm safe


For You are my rock and my fortress


For the sake of Your name You'll lead me and You'll guide me


You'll take me out of the net my enemies have hidden for me


For You are my refuge


O, You are my refuge


Into Your hand I commit my spirit


You have redeemed me, O Yahweh, God of truth


I hate those who trust in idols


But I have placed my hope in You, LORD


I will rejoice, I'll be happy in Your love


Because You have seen my pain


And You, Lord, have known the anguish of my soul


And You will not deliver me into the hand of the enemy


No, You will set my feet in a wide and peaceful place


For You are my refuge


O, You are my refuge


Be merciful to me, O LORD


This pain is killing me


I cry until my eyes are spent


My soul and body ache with grief


My life is consumed by anguish


And my years with groaning


My strength is gone because of all my sin


And my bones waste away


Because of all my enemies, my name has been disgraced


My friends and neighbors turn from me, they shun me in the streets


I'm forgotten like someone who's died


A shattered piece of clay


While I hear the whispers all around


Of violence planned for me


All around they gather


As they plot to take my life


But I trust in You, O LORD, and I say, "You are my God"


All my times are in Your hand


Rescue me from all my enemies


LORD, make Your face to shine upon me


Deliver me in Your never-ending love


Don't let me be put to shame


For I call on You


Let the wicked be put to shame


Let them go down silently into the pit


Let the lying lips be mute which speak against the righteous with angry pride


Let the lying lips be mute which speak against the righteous with angry pride


Let the lying lips be mute which speak against the righteous with angry pride


O, how abundant is Your goodness You store up for those who fear You


That You work for those who trust You in the sight of the children of mankind


In the cover of Your presence, You hide them from the plots of men


You shield them in Your shelter from the war of violent tongues


O, blessed be the LORD


For He has shown His love so wondrously to me


When I was under siege, I said in my fear, "I'm cut off from Your sight"


But You heard my plea for mercy when I cried to You for help


O, love the LORD


All you his saints


For the Lord preserves the faithful


But abundantly repays the one who acts in pride


Be strong, let your heart be valiant, all you that wait upon the LORD


Be strong, let your heart be valiant, all you that wait upon the LORD


Be strong, let your heart be valiant, all you that wait upon the LORD


Be strong, let your heart be valiant, all you that wait upon the LORD
