Author: Mollie Knight Hymnal: Christian Worship #3B (2021) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O LORD, how many enemies
arise and threaten life and limb!
How many talk of me and say,
"His God will not deliver him!"
2 But you surround me like a shield,
my glory, raising high my head;
you answer from your holy hill
whenever, LORD, with you I plead.
3 I take my sleep and wake again
sustained by you and fortified;
I will not fear ten thousand men
assailing me from ev'ry side.
4 Arise, O LORD! Deliver me
and overturn their evil ways;
deliv'rance, LORD, is yours alone:
O bless your people all their days!
