Psalm 28: 6-8

 

Psalm 28: 6-8

Praise be to the Lord, for he has heard my cry for mercy. The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him. The Lord is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.

Oh, how my heart sings with Your praise.

I lift my voice in joy,

For You have called me by my name,

And my heart won’t be coy!

You’ve marked my name upon Your hand

And hold me safe from harm.

I hide within the protection

Of Your mighty shield arm.

Though enemies may hunt me down

Like wolves upon the trail,

Still I know Your mercy is great,

And that You will prevail.

You are my mighty fortress, Lord,

My refuge and my strength,

Though I may cry out in despair,

You’ll calm my fears at length.

And I will stand up once again

To sing You songs of praise.

You are my savior and my hope

And You will be always!
