The Psalter ‎#36

36. Our Source of Strength

1 As Thou, O Lord, hast made me strong
To overcome my mighty foe,
So now to fight against the wrong
And conquer in Thy Name I go.

2 From strife Thou wilt deliver me,
And make the nations own my sway;
Strange peoples when my pow'r they see,
Shall come with trembling and obey.

3 Jehovah lives, and blest is He,
My rock, my refuge and defense,
My Saviour Who delivers me,
And will the wicked recompense.

4 For grace and mercy ever near,
For foes subdued and victories won,
All nations of the earth shall hear
My praise for what the Lord has done.

5 To David, His anointed king,
And to his sons upon his throne,
The Lord will great salvation bring
And ever make His mercy known.
