Defend Me, Lord, From Shame

Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #14732 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Defend me, Lord, from shame, For still I trust in Thee: As just and righteous is Thy name, From danger set me free. 2 Bow down Thy gracious ear, And speedy succor send: Do Thou my steadfast rock appear, To shelter and defend. 3 Since Thou, when foes oppress, My rock and fortress art, To guide me forth from this distress, Thy wonted help impart. 4 Release me from the snare Which they have closely laid; Since I, O God my strength repair To Thee alone for aid. 5 To Thee, the God of truth, My life, and all that’s mine (For Thou preserv’dst me from my youth,) I willingly resign. 6 All vain designs I hate, Of those that trust in lies: And still my soul, in every state, To God for succor flies. 7 Those mercies Thou hast shown, I’ll cheerfully express; For Thou hast seen my straits, and know My soul in deep distress. 8 When Keilah’s treacherous race Did all my strength enclose, Thou gav’st my feet a larger space, To shun my watchful foes. 9 Thy mercy, Lord, display, And hear my just complaint; For both my soul and flesh decay, With grief and hunger faint. 10 Sad thoughts my life oppress; My years are spent in groans; My sins have made my strength decrease, And e’en consumed my bones. 11 My foes my sufferings mocked, My neighbors did upbraid; My friends, at sight of me, were shocked, And fled, as men dismayed. 12 Forsook by all am I, As dead, and out of mind; And like a shattered vessel lie, Whose parts can ne’er be joined. 13 Yet slanderous words they speak, And seem my power to dread; Whilst they together counsel take My guiltless blood to shed. 14 But still my steadfast trust, I on Thy help repose: That Thou, my God, art good and just, My soul with comfort knows. 15 Whate’er events betide, Thy wisdom times them all: Then, Lord, Thy servant safely hide From those that seek his fall. 16 The brightness of Thy face, To me, O Lord, disclose; And, as Thy mercies still increase, Preserve me from my foes. 17 Me from dishonor save, Who still have called on Thee; Let that, and silence in the grave, The sinner’s portion be. 18 Do Thou their tongues restrain; Whose breath in lies is spent; Who false reports, with proud disdain, Against the righteous vent. 19 How great Thy mercies are To such as fear Thy name; Which Thou, for those that trust Thy care, Dost to the world proclaim! 20 Thou keep’st them in Thy sight, From proud oppressors free: From tongues that do in strife delight, They are preserved by Thee. 21 With glory and renown God’s name be ever blessed; Whose love as Keilah’s well-fenced town Was wondrously expressed! 22 I said, in hasty flight, I’m banished from Thine eyes; Yet still Thou keptst me in Thy sight, And heardst my earnest cries. 23 O! all ye saints, the Lord With eager love pursue; Who to the just will help afford, And give the proud their due. 24 Ye that on God rely, Courageously proceed; For He will still your hearts supply With strength, in time of need.
