O Lord my God, in You I take refuge.
Save me from those who pursue me—
Lest they tear me like a lion,
With no one to rescue.
False words flyin’, they twistin’ my name,
Tryna drag me down, playin’ dirty games.
But I ain’t guilty, I ain’t done wrong,
I call on the Judge who’s mighty and strong.
If I betrayed, let me fall,
But You know my heart, You see it all.
Rise up, Lord, bring justice near,
Let the wicked tremble, let the righteous cheer.
Judge and Defender, You know what’s real,
You test the hearts, You break the seal.
I take my stand, I trust Your throne,
You fight for truth, I’m not alone.
Judge and Defender, rise and reign,
You cut through lies, You break the chain.
I take my stand, I trust Your throne,
You fight for truth, I’m not alone.
The wicked dig pits, but fall in their own,
Their violence rebounds, their cover is blown.
You’re a shield for the upright soul,
You write justice in heavenly scrolls.
My defense is in You, Most High,
You see the tears, You hear the cry.
If they don’t turn, You sharpen the blade,
Arrows of fire, truth won’t fade.
Judge and Defender, You know what’s real,
You test the hearts, You break the seal.
I take my stand, I trust Your throne,
You fight for truth, I’m not alone.
Judge and Defender, rise and reign,
You cut through lies, You break the chain.
I take my stand, I trust Your throne,
You fight for truth, I’m not alone.
I will give thanks to the Lord for His righteousness.
I will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.
Justice is Yours. Victory is mine.
