Prayer For Protection

orchidee



Tune: Heathlands

('God of glory, God of grace')

Psalm 64

**********

Hear my voice, Lord, in my prayer

I do know that you ae there

Preserve my life from the fear

Of the enemy, they near

Hide me from secret counsel

That wicked workers do tell

 

They sharpen tongue like a sword

Bitter words for good [they] reward

That they may, like bow, arrow

Shoot at them, to oppress  so

They encourage themselves to

Lay snares, and to evil do

 

They search out iniquities

Devise evil, say none sees

Their inward thought and heart deep

They do no good in them keep

But God He shall suddenly

Shoot at them, wounded they be

 

And so their tongue, e'en their own

Makes them stumble as o'er stone

All that see them, all shall flee

And fearing to God shall be

His work they shall sure declare

Show that His doings wise fare

 

The righteous, they shall be glad

In the Lord, no longer sad

And shall trust in Him always

E'en to light of lasting days

All the upright in heart shall

Glory, His protection tell

    I think I get the point, but a crash helmet and a shield wouldn't go amiss either methinks .......... Neville
