1: Take my side, God--I'm getting kicked around, stomped on every day.
2: Not a day goes by but somebody beats me up; They make it their duty to beat me up.
3: When I get really afraid I come to you in trust.
4: I'm proud to praise God; fearless now, I trust in God. What can mere mortals do?
5: They don't let up--they smear my reputation and huddle to plot my collapse.
6: They gang up, sneak together through the alleys To take me by surprise, wait their chance to get me.
7: Pay them back in evil! Get angry, God! Down with these people!
8: You've kept track of my every toss and turn through the sleepless nights, Each tear entered in your ledger, each ache written in your book.
9: If my enemies run away, turn tail when I yell at them, Then I'll know that God is on my side.
10: I'm proud to praise God, proud to praise GOD.
11: Fearless now, I trust in God; what can mere mortals do to me?
12: God, you did everything you promised, and I'm thanking you with all my heart.
13: You pulled me from the brink of death, my feet from the cliff-edge of doom. Now I stroll at leisure with God in the sunlit fields of life.
