O LORD My God, in You I Refuge Seek

  1. O LORD my God, in you I refuge seek.
    From those who would pursue, deliver me,
    lest they should tear me like a lion’s prey,
    with none to save me from their evil way.
  2. O LORD my God, if wrong is in my hands,
    if I did evil to my foes or friends,
    let my pursuer seize and crush my life,
    that in the dust my glory may abide.
  3. Arise in anger ’gainst my enemies;
    for me awake; your righteous judgment bring.
    Let peoples gather and to you draw nigh,
    for their sakes come again to rule on high.
  4. The LORD will judge the peoples of the world.
    Judge me according to my rightness, LORD,
    but let the evil of the wicked end
    and be the righteous one’s secure defense.
  5. You test all minds and hearts, O righteous God!
    My shield is he who saves the upright heart.
    A righteous judge, God judges righteously;
    the wrath of God is burning ev’ry day.
  6. God whets his sword if one does not repent;
    he has his bow already strung and bent.
    His deadly weapons he has now prepared,
    and makes his arrows flame; he will not spare.
  7. See how the wicked evil thoughts conceives;
    pregnant with wickedness, brings forth deceit.
    He makes a pit, he digs it out by hand,
    and then he falls into the hole he planned.
  8. Upon his head his mischief will return;
    upon his crown his evil will descend.
    I thank the LORD for all his righteousness.
    The LORD Most High with music I will bless.
