1. My only hope is in the Lord;
I refuge in my God.
God save me from those hunting me
like lions seeking blood.
If I had brought this on myself
I would not call your name,
but I’ve done nothing to deserve
their anger or my shame.
Arise! Arise! Arise, O Lord!
Arise! Arise! Arise, O Lord!
2. Arise, O Lord, and stay their hand
or I will be undone;
for only you can judge the heart
and keep me safe from harm.
My strong defender is my God;
my Savior is the Lord
who judges every human heart
and wields a righteous sword.
Arise! Arise! Arise, O Lord!
Arise! Arise! Arise, O Lord!
3. Their ripened rage gives birth to wind,
for God has changed their plans.
They find themselves ensnared in traps
that they themselves have set.
But I give thanks to my good God,
whose righteousness prevails.
I sing the praises of my Lord,
whose love will never fail.
Arise! Arise! Arise, O Lord!
Arise! Arise! Arise, O Lord!
