🎶 Lyrics (Based directly on Psalm 7:1–17)

Verse 1 (Psalm 7:1–2)

O Lord my God, in You I take refuge,

Save me, rescue me from those who pursue.

Lest they tear my soul like a lion’s roar —

I run to You, my strong and mighty Lord.

Verse 2 (Psalm 7:3–5)

If I’ve done wrong, if guilt is mine,

Let the enemy chase and overtake in time.

But You know my heart, You see it clear —

You’re the Judge I trust, the One I fear.

Chorus (Psalm 7:6–10)

Arise, O Lord, in Your righteous wrath,

Awake and judge, make justice last.

You test the hearts, You see the soul —

You are my shield, my heart You hold.

You are my shield, O Lord Most High,

The Savior of the pure in eye.

Verse 3 (Psalm 7:11–13)

God is a righteous judge each day,

His sword is sharp, He’ll make the wicked pay.

If they don’t turn, He’ll bend His bow —

His arrows ready, swift to go.

Bridge (Psalm 7:14–16)

The wicked dig their own dark pit,

They fall in traps their hands have knit.

But I will stand and sing Your praise —

The righteous Lord, His name I raise.

Final Chorus (Uplift & Declare)

Arise, O Lord, in power and light,

Defend the good, restore the right.

You are my shield, my song, my King —

To You alone my praise I bring.

Yes, You alone my praise I bring.
