PSALM 59

Protect Me From My Enemies

Protect me from my enemies

Their goal is to destroy.

Lord, may I never you displease

Or even you annoy.

REFRAIN

Praises I sing to you, my God.

You are a God of mercy.

Preserve me, Lord, from any harm

To body or to soul

Extend to me your strong right arm

Hold me close; make me whole

REFRAIN

Punish me not for sinful deeds

Lord, look on me with love

Send down your Spirit; meet my needs

Prepare my home above.

REFRAIN

Power and might are on display

Your awesome strength we see

We come to you to hear you say:

“I still your God will be!”

REFRAIN

A place of safety you will be

O God, your love’s the same

A shield of love you are to me

I call upon your name

REFRAIN
