Cast your burden on the Lord - Psalm 55: 16-23
Make your call out to God
looking for His answer from on high
for the Lord God will save you
bring praise with a joyful cry
During every moment of the day
bring your complaint and your moan
for God will always hear your voice
as He will look after His own
God will redeem your soul
in the battle that you do wage
your enemies stand so forceful
no godly fear and will not change
Cast your burden on the Lord
you know He will sustain you
never will you be moved
for God holds the righteous true
The Lord will cast them to destruction
these men of blood won't live to do
you will survive despite the attacks
tell God but I will trust in you
("But I call to God,
and the Lord will save me.
Evening and morning and at noon
I utter my complaint and moan,
and he hears my voice.
He redeems my soul in safety
from the battle that I wage,
for many are arrayed against me.
God will give ear and humble them,
he who is enthroned from of old, Selah
because they do not change
and do not fear God.
My companion stretched out his hand against his friends;
he violated his covenant.
His speech was smooth as butter,
yet war was in his heart;
his words were softer than oil,
yet they were drawn swords.
Cast your burden on the Lord,
and he will sustain you;
he will never permit
the righteous to be moved.
But you, O God, will cast them down
into the pit of destruction;
men of blood and treachery
shall not live out half their days.
But I will trust in you.")
Psalm 55: 16-23 (ESV)
