[Intro] (Timpani, strings in crescendo) [Verse 1] In You I take refuge Save me from all my pursuers Lest they tear my soul like a lion Rending me in pieces, with none to deliver [Pre-Chorus] If I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands If I have repaid my friend with evil Then let the enemy pursue my soul And overtake it, and trample my life to the ground [Chorus] (Powerful choir) Arise, in Your anger Lift Yourself against the fury of my foes Awake for me, You have appointed a judgment You are the Judge, my Defender! [Verse 2] Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered about You Return over them, seated on Your judgment throne You judges the peoples Judge me, according my righteousness [Pre-Chorus] According to the integrity that is in me Oh, let the evil of the wicked come to an end Establish the just, You who test minds and hearts O righteous God! [Chorus] (Even bigger choir) Arise, n Your anger Lift Yourself against the fury of my foes Awake for me, You have appointed a judgment You are the Judge, my Defender! [Bridge] (Epic, melodic guitar solo) My shield is You Who saves the upright in heart You are a righteous judge You who feels indignation every day [Outro] (Full band and choir) If a man does not repent, He will whet His sword He has bent and strung His bow He has prepared His deadly weapons Making His arrows fiery shafts Yes, He prepares His arrows for His pursuers MY DEFENDER! (Timpani roll and final chord)
