Rescue me, O my God, from those who seek harm,
shield me from those who act with cruelty.
See how they wait in the shadows,
plotting trouble though I have done no wrong.
But You, O Lord, laugh at their schemes,
for no plan stands against Your wisdom.
You are my strength, my refuge, my safe place.
I will wait for You, for You are faithful.
Each morning, I will sing of Your love,
for You have been my shelter in the storm,
a place of safety when the night was dark.
O my Strength, I will lift up my voice to You!
For You are my fortress,
the One whose love never fails.
