God Our Guardian
O Lord, how are my foes increased!
from The Psalter, 1912 · 8.6.8.6
1.O Lord, how are my foes increased!
Against me many rise;
How many say, In vain for help
He on his God relies!
2.Thou art my shield and glory, Lord,
My Saviour, O Most High.
The Lord from out His holy hill
Gives answer when I cry.
3.I laid me down and slept, I waked,
Because the Lord sustains;
Tho' many thousands compass me,
Unmoved my soul remains.
4.Arise, o Lord; save me, my God;
For Thou hast owned my cause,
And oft hast beaten down my foes
Who scorn Thy righteous laws.
5.Salvation to the Lord belongs,
In Him His saints are blest;
O let Thy blessing evermore
Upon Thy people rest.
