about

Based upon Psalm 3

lyrics

Oh God how many troubles,
so many foes--no reason why
But you, my shield, my honor—
help me go on with my head held high
Yes, you help me walk with head held high

I call to God—loud and clear (and you will answer me!
Thousands surround me--I have no fear
(What can they do to me?!)
Rise up my God this very day
(and hear us pray/let us hear you say)
Your salvation's on the way

God, please do not delay,
help me cope with any blow without dismay
Turn the heart of every enemy around,
let good will and friendship now abound,
and please keep my loved ones safe and sound

Together each step of the way
Let us bring your salvation every day

Hope you enjoy the English or Hebrew versions, and wish you well. Thanks for listening! ... more
