Eternal God, how they�re increased
Who greatly trouble me!
How many are the men that stand
In triumph over me!

Many there be who ever are
Saying unto my soul,
There�s no salvation to be had
For him in God at all.

But now about me Thou�rt a shield
O Thou eternal God;
Thou art my Glory, and Thou art
Th�Uplifter of my head.

I laid me down, and took my sleep,
And then I did awake;
Because that the eternal God
Sustained me all along.

Salvation is what does belong
To the eternal God;
On those that are Thy people is
Thy benediction still.
