For God is our defence; and he to us doth safety bring: The Holy One of Israel is our almighty King.
The princes of the people are assembled willingly; Ev'n of the God of Abraham they who the people be. For why? the shields that do defend the earth are only his: They to the Lord belong; yea, he exalted greatly is.
Thee, ev'n thy truth, I'll also praise, my God, with psaltery: Thou Holy One of Israel, with harp I'll sing to thee.
For God the Lord's a sun and shield: he'll grace and glory give; And will withhold no good from them that uprightly do live.
Thou art my King: for Jacob, Lord, deliv'rances command.
He only my salvation is, and my strong rock is he; He only is my sure defence: I shall not moved be.
His people's horn, the praise of all his saints, exalteth he; Ev'n Isr'el's seed, a people near to him. The Lord praise ye.
