Versified for use in worship July 26, 2009, West Side Moravian Church. Using the tune "Spanish Hymn" (but versed 67.67.66.67).
1.
I have so many foes;
they attack me from all sides.
All people say to me
"There is no relief from God."
Rise up, deliver me!
Humble my enemies!
Your strength is plain to see.
Saving power comes from God!
2.
You are a shield for me.
You will hold my head up high.
I cry aloud to you
and you answer from the sky.
3.
I sleep then wake again
because you preserve my life.
I do not fear my foes
in the midst of deadly strife.
