Lord, save me, for thy glorious Name,
and in thy strength appear,
To judge my cause, accept my pray'r,
and to my words give ear.
Mere strangers, whom I never wronged,
to ruin me designed;
And cruel men, that fear no God,
against my soul combined.
But God takes part with all my friends,
and he's the surest guard;
The God of truth shall give my foes
their falsehood's just reward:
While I my grateful off'rings bring,
and sacrifice with joy;
And in his praise my time to come
delightfully employ.
From dreadful danger and distress
the Lord hath set me free;
Through him shall I of all my foes
the just destruction see.
