1 God is my strong salvation; what foe have I to fear? In darkness and temptation my light, my help, is near. 2 Though hosts encamp around me, firm to the fight I stand; what terror can confound me, with God at my right hand? 3 Place on the Lord reliance; my soul, with courage wait; His truth be thine affiance, when faint and desolate. 4 His might thine heart shall strengthen, His love thy joy increase; mercy thy days shall lengthen; the Lord will give thee peace
