Psalm 7 Song: God Is My Defence

Psalm 7 speaks to the uneasy experience of wanting truth to be seen when accusation or misunderstanding clouds the picture. “God Is My Defence” holds vulnerability and resolve together, so follow its appeal for justice, consider the role of integrity, and let Psalm 7 place defence in hands larger than one’s own.

Many people appear composed while privately wishing that motives and actions could be judged fairly. Psalm 7 reframes that longing as a call to honest self-examination as well as trust; as the arrangement expands, notice how the repeated title turns anxiety into a clear statement of confidence.

God Is My Defence Lyrics

Mmmm

Lord my God, I put my trust in You
Save me from all who persecute me

Deliver me before he tears my soul
Like a lion ripping me to pieces
With no one left to deliver me

Lord my God, if I have done this
If there is iniquity in my hands

If I repaid evil to one at peace with me
Then let the enemy chase my soul and take it

Let him grind my life into the earth
And lay my honour in the dust

Arise, O Lord
Arise in Your anger
Arise for me

Lift Yourself up against my enemies
Wake up for the judgement You commanded

Let the nations gather around You
Return to Your high place above them

Judge me, Lord, by my righteousness
By the integrity that is in me

God is my defence
God is my defence
He saves the upright in heart

Let the wickedness of the wicked end
Establish the just

You search the heart
God judges the righteous

God is angry at the wicked every day

If he does not turn, God sharpens His sword
He has bent His bow and made it ready

He has prepared instruments of death
His arrows are aimed at the persecutors

The wicked conceived mischief and gave birth to lies
He dug a pit and fell into it himself

His mischief comes back on his own head
His violence comes down on his own skull

I will praise the Lord for His righteousness
I will sing to the name of the Lord Most High

I will praise the Lord for His righteousness
I will sing to the Lord Most High

God is my defence
He saves the upright in heart.
