Lord How They Surge Psalm 3

Psalm 3, Lord, How they Surge
Music - Heinrich Schutz
Lyrics - Donald Owens II
LORD, how they surge who cause me grief
Without relief!
Crowds rise as my offenders!
Great hosts emerge to mock my soul,
To ridicule:
“His God is no defender.”
But You, O LORD,
Are shield and sword,
My glory cloud,
My head unbowed;
You lift my head in splendor!
2. I called the LORD with all my might;
From Zion’s height
He heeded my complaining.
My hope restored, I lay to rest,
I woke refreshed;
I found the LORD sustaining.
I will not dread
Ten thousand head
Arrayed for war
Around my door;
I fear no foe remaining.
3. Arise, O LORD; Save me, my God!
I need Your rod
To rise for my salvation.
You struck the hoard to their disgrace;
Broke from their face
The teeth of domination.
To save is Yours;
You win our wars.
You set us free
In victory;
You bless Your congregation.
