Saved By Love Divine (Psalm 35)
Contend with my foes Lord,
rise up and take my place,
Fight those who fight me.
Shield, armor, and aid Lift
Your heavy shield for me,
Wake
up, come
and help. Spear against the chase Brandish bright spear
and javelin,
Whisper: “I save
you.” Shame
upon their plots
May seekers of my life fall,
Turned back in deep fear.
Soul rejoices now My heart leaps inside Your grace,
Glad
in Your rescue. None is like the Lord Who can match Your
Mighty Arm? You
defend the poor.
(mmmmm) Soul sings out with joy,
Leaping high inside
Your grace,
Saved by Love Divine.
None compares to You,
Shielding those
with broken hearts, Mighty Arm of Peace.
Chaff before the wind Scatter them like broken dust,
Driven by Your ghost.
Dark and slippery path Send Your Angel
on their tracks, Slipping in the night.
Unprovoked deceit
Though they hid a secret net,
Though they
dug a pit. Ruin takes them fast Let the trap catch its
own maker, Falling
to the ground. Anima nunc gaudet,
Cor exsultat intra gratiam Tuam,
Laetum in salute Tua.
Nemo est sicut Dominus; Quis Brachio Tuo Valido comparabitur?
Tu pauperum defensor es. (ahhhh)
Anima
canit
cum gaudio,
Alte exsultans intra gratiam Tuam,
Amore
Divino salvata. Nemo comparatur Tibi,
Protegenti eos qui corde sunt contrito,
Brachium Potens
Pacis.
False and ruthless words Lying witnesses arise,
Asking what I lack.
Evil for my good They have left my
spirit bare, Cold and all alone.
Sackcloth in
their pain When
they sickened, I did fast,
Grieving for
their breath.
Mourning for a friend
Bowing
low like for a
brother, Weeping for a kin.
Soul rejoices now My heart leaps inside
Your grace, Glad in Your
rescue. None is like the Lord Who can match Your
Mighty Arm? You defend the poor.
(mmmmm) Soul sings out with joy,
Leaping
high inside Your grace,
Saved by
Love Divine. None
compares to You, Shielding those with broken hearts,
Mighty Arm of
Peace. (mmmmm)
