🎶 Lyrics (Based on Psalm 17:1–15)

Verse 1 (Psalm 17:1–2)

Hear me, Lord, my plea is just,

I cry to You — in You I trust.

Let my vindication come from You,

Your eyes see what is pure and true.

Verse 2 (Psalm 17:3–5)

You’ve tested me through night and day,

My heart desires no evil way.

My steps have held to paths You gave,

My feet have not slipped — Your Word has saved.

Chorus (Psalm 17:6–8)

I call on You, for You will hear —

Incline Your ear, O Lord, come near.

Show me the wonder of Your grace,

Hide me in the shadow of Your wings.

Verse 3 (Psalm 17:9–12)

The wicked surround, they close their heart,

They hunt me down with deadly darts.

Like lions fierce, they wait in pride,

But I take refuge by Your side.

Bridge (Psalm 17:13–14)

Rise up, O Lord, and bring them low,

By Your hand let justice show.

You fill the world with wealth and things,

But I seek You — my soul still sings.

Final Chorus (Psalm 17:15)

When I awake, I will arise,

And see Your face with open eyes.

In righteousness, I will be still,

Forever satisfied in Your will.
