Psalm 59:9

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

While he's in pow'r I'll wait on thee; for God is my high rock.

See the chapter Copy

God also will a refuge be for those that are oppress'd; A refuge will he be in times of trouble to distress'd.

He only my salvation is, and my strong rock is he: He only is my sure defence; much mov'd I shall not be.

O God, thou art my strength, I will sing praises unto thee; For God is my defence, a God of mercy unto me.

Wait on the Lord, and be thou strong, and he shall strength afford Unto thine heart; yea, do thou wait, I say, upon the Lord.

The Lord's my light and saving health, who shall make me dismay'd? My life's strength is the Lord, of whom then shall I be afraid?

God hath it spoken once to me, yea, this I heard again, That power to Almighty God alone doth appertain.

The Lord of hosts upon our side doth constantly remain: The God of Jacob's our refuge, us safely to maintain.

God is our refuge and our strength, in straits a present aid;

JEHOVAH hear thee in the day when trouble he doth send: And let the name of Jacob's God thee from all ill defend.

He that in heaven sits shall laugh; the Lord shall scorn them all.
