The mighty GOD, on whom I call, Can save me here as well. Pause. 7 By Morning-Light I'll seek his Face, At Noon repeat my Cry; The Night shall hear me ask his Grace, Nor will he long deny. 8 GOD shall preserve my Soul from Fear, Or shield me when afraid; Ten Thousand Angels must appear, If he command their Aid. 9 I cast my Burdens on the Lord, The Lord sustains them all; My Courage rests upon his Word, That Saints shall never fall. 9 My highest Hopes shall not be vain, My Lips shall spread his Praise; While cruel and deceitful Men Scarce live out Half their Days. Scripture: Psalm 55:1-8
