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. (mmmmm)

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.

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. (aahh)

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.

Anima canit cum gaudio,

Alte exsultans intra gratiam Tuam,

Amore Divino

salvata. Nemo comparatur Tibi,

Protegenti eos qui corde sunt contrito,

Brachium Potens Pacis. (ooh)

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. (mmmmm)

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.

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. (hummmm)
