Psalm 64: I Lift My Voice

$0.00

Psalm 64 portrays the author as being hunted down by the wicked. Linda Bonney Olin does a great job of faithfully transforming the Psalm into a modern song. She begins with a cry for refuge and ends with praise for God’s unfailing help. In between, she is honest about the damage wicked schemes can do, while focusing on the ultimate justice and protection God gives us. It is a timely message when we’re all swimming in a sea of lies and malice: God still sees our deeds and judges hearts fairly.

1. I lift my voice to you, O God.
My help and refuge be!
Defend me from the enemies
who seek to ruin me.
They wield their tongues like sharpened swords.
Their words like arrows fly.
Protect me from their secret plans.
My God, please hear my cry!

2. Without a scruple or a fear,
the wicked ones attack.
Their ambush falls so swift and sure,
their prey cannot fight back.
So cunningly their snares are laid
to trap the blameless one,
they boast that none will ever learn
the vicious things they’ve done.

3. But God knows all their spiteful thoughts,
unravels all their schemes.
The evildoers, God brings down.
The just ones, God redeems.
Rejoice in God’s unfailing help,
you innocent of heart!
The world will see and be amazed,
for God will take your part.
