(Verse 1) “O Lord, I have so many enemies; so many are against me. So many are saying, “God will never rescue him!” (Chorus) You, O Lord, are a shield around me; you are my glory. You are the one who holds my head high. You, O Lord, are a shield around me; you are my glory. You are the one who holds my head high. I lift my head high. (Verse 2) I cried out to the Lord, and he answered me from his holy mountain. I lay down and slept, yet I woke up in safety, for the Lord was watching over me. (Chorus) You, O Lord, are a shield around me; you are my glory. You are the one who holds my head high. You, O Lord, are a shield around me; you are my glory. You are the one who holds my head high. I lift my head high. (Verse 3) I am not afraid of ten thousand enemies who surround me on every side. Arise, O Lord! Rescue me, my God! Slap all my enemies in the face! Shatter the teeth of the wicked! (Chorus) You, O Lord, are a shield around me; you are my glory. You are the one who holds my head high. You, O Lord, are a shield around me; you are my glory. You are the one who holds my head high. I lift my head high. (outro) Victory comes from you, O Lord. May you bless your people.
