God is For Me

"When I cry unto Thee then shall mine enemies turn back: 

This I know: for God is for me." -- Psalm 56:9

Turn back, mine enemy, unmoved

Thy wiles, thy snares I see;

Turn back, for when I cry to God

I know He is for me.

Thy day is over; I no more

Thy willing slave can be,

For I have learned to cry to God;

I know He is for me.

Hence with thy strong delusions, hence,

I parley not with thee,

But mid thy temptings cry to God,

I know He is for me.

Ah, if thou knewest as I know

The God to whom I flee,

Thou wouldst not think to gain mine ear;

I know He is for me!
