vv1-2 My foes increase O Lord,
How many trouble me;
No help for him, no not in God,
They rise up endlessly.

vv3-4 But you O Lord, my shield,
My glory and my guard,
You lift my head Your strength revealed,
Unto You I cried.

vv5-6 I laid me down to sleep,
Sustained by You, O Lord;
From all my foes You will me keep,
I will not fear the crowd.

vv7-8 Arise and rescue bring,
Who all my foes have struck;
Salvation does to God belong,
Blessings upon Your folk.

(Tune: Trentham SM)
