You Are My Refuge Ben Loper In You, O LORD, I take refuge Don’t let me be put to shame for trusting You Do what’s righteous and deliver me Incline Your ear to me And quickly come rescue me Be a mighty rock that guards me A fortress where I’m safe For You are my rock and my fortress For the sake of Your name You’ll lead me and You’ll guide me You’ll take me out of the net my enemies have hidden for me For You are my refuge O, You are my refuge Into Your hand I commit my spirit You have redeemed me, O Yahweh, God of truth I hate those who trust in idols But I have placed my hope in You, LORD I will rejoice, I’ll be happy in Your love Because You have seen my pain And You, Lord, have known the anguish of my soul And You will not deliver me into the hand of the enemy No, You will set my feet in a wide and peaceful place For You are my refuge O, You are my refuge Be merciful to me, O LORD This pain is killing me I cry until my eyes are spent My soul and body ache with grief My life is consumed by anguish And my years with groaning My strength is gone because of all my sin And my bones waste away Because of all my enemies, my name has been disgraced My friends and neighbors turn from me, they shun me in the streets I’m forgotten like someone who’s died A shattered piece of clay While I hear the whispers all around Of violence planned for me All around they gather As they plot to take my life But I trust in You, O LORD, and I say, “You are my God” All my times are in Your hand Rescue me from all my enemies LORD, make Your face to shine upon me Deliver me in Your never-ending love Don’t let me be put to shame For I call on You Let the wicked be put to shame Let them go down silently into the pit Let the lying lips be mute which speak against the righteous with angry pride Let the lying lips be mute which speak against the righteous with angry pride Let the lying lips be mute which speak against the righteous with angry pride O, how abundant is Your goodness You store up for those who fear You That You work for those who trust You in the sight of the children of mankind In the cover of Your presence, You hide them from the plots of men You shield them in Your shelter from the war of violent tongues O, blessed be the LORD For He has shown His love so wondrously to me When I was under siege, I said in my fear, “I’m cut off from Your sight” But You heard my plea for mercy when I cried to You for help O, love the LORD All you his saints For the Lord preserves the faithful But abundantly repays the one who acts in pride Be strong, let your heart be valiant, all you that wait upon the LORD Be strong, let your heart be valiant, all you that wait upon the LORD Be strong, let your heart be valiant, all you that wait upon the LORD Be strong, let your heart be valiant, all you that wait upon the LORD
