The Lord is My Defender Lyrics

Rise, O Lord, and fight for me

Stand against my enemies

Shield and sword, You hold my life

In Your mercy, I survive

Let those who seek to harm my soul

Fall before Your mighty hand

For You are just, my faithful King

You alone will make me stand

The Lord is my defender

My refuge and my shield

I will trust in His salvation

By His grace, I am healed

They speak deceit, they plot their schemes

But You, O Lord, deliver me

Turn their evil back to dust

Raise me up, in You I trust

I will praise You in the morning

I will bless You through the night

For Your justice never falters

You restore me by Your light

Let my soul rejoice in victory

Let my heart proclaim Your ways

For the Lord is my defender

Now and always, I give praise
