I Lift My Eyes (121)

`LORD_, how my adversaries / have increased!

`Many are those who rise / up against me.

`Many are there who_ / say of me,

“There `is no help for / him in God.”

Selah.

But `you, LORD, are a shield a / round~ me,

my `glory, and the one who lifts_ / up my head.

`I cry to the LORD_ / with my voice,

`and he answers me out of his / holy hill.

Selah.

(Ref)

I `laid myself_ / down and slept.

I `woke again_, for the LORD sus / tains~ me.

`I will not_ be afraid of / tens of thousands

`who have set themselves against me on_ / ev’ry side.

A `rise_, LORD!_ Save me, / my~ God!

For `you strike all my enemies_ / on the cheek. • • You `break the teeth_ / of the wicked.

Sal `vation belongs / to the LORD.

`May your blessing be_ / on your people.
