Hear my cry for help, O Lord,And my plea for justice too.
Judge me fairly when You hear my prayer,
And may my defence come from You.
Look into my heart, examine me at night,
There You will find nothing bad.
I promise my mouth will speak what is right,
And I know I’ll never be sad.
I’ve always obeyed Your command,
And I always walk in Your way.
Unlike others who follow a violent path,
From You I will never stray.
I cry out to You O Lord my God,
I know You answer my every prayer.
By Your wonderful mercy and grace,
I cry out and You’re always there.
Keep me as the light of your eyes,
And hide me in the shade of your wings.
From those who would hunt me down,
You protect me, O how my heart sings.
They have found and now surround me,
They’re like a lion hungry for prey.
They want to tear me to pieces,
Confront them O Lord, turn them away.
Your gifts to me are wonderful,
Because I've always obeyed Your word.
Save me from such men, O Lord,
From the wicked men of this world,
Men who are idle and vain,
Will get no reward from You.
But I will see your face.
To You I have been true.
