Psalm 31 | You Are My Strength (MSAL)

Lyrics and Music by Jody Killingsworth

In You, Lord, I’ve taken refuge
Let me never be ashamed
In Your righteousness deliver
Hear as I beseech Your name
Be to me a rock of shelter
Where to run and safely hide
When the wicked’s nets entangle
Pull me out and be my guide

In You, Lord, I’ve taken refuge
Why must life be spent in tears?
Bones are weak and body’s wasted
Through the groans of bitter years
I’m a joke to them who hate You
I’m the horror of my friends
Some have even schemed and whispered
How to bring about my end

But, You are my strength
I trust to You my very soul
You are my strength
My life is under Your control

Save me, O God
In Your mercy be near
Save me, O God
For it’s You that I fear
Save me, O God
Who must ever be true
I put my trust in You

In You, Lord, I’ve taken refuge
For the sake of Your good name
Shine the light of favor on me
But the wicked put to shame
I hate all their filthy idols
And their tongues parading lies
Let them make their beds in sorrow
As for me, though, hear my cries

You are my strength
trust to You my very soul
You are my strength
My life is under Your control

Save me, O God
In Your mercy be near
Save me, O God
For it’s You that I fear
Save me, O God
Who must ever be true
I put my trust in You

Save me, O God
In Your mercy be near
Save me, O God
For it’s You that I fear
Save me, O God
Who must ever be true
I put my trust in You
