ARISE, O LORD PSALM 7 O Lord My God, in You I take refuge Save me from pursuers, Lord, deliver me ‘Cause like a lion, they tear my soul to pieces Soon I’m going to be beyond recovery
O Lord my God, if I have done this • If there is any blood on my hands • If I have wronged or taken from an enemy • If I’ve repaid with evil all my closest friends
Then let the enemy pursue my soul • And overtake my life and lay me in the ground • Let him trample, let him hurt my body • Let him hide my glory where it can’t be found
Arise, O Lord, in Your anger • Arise, O Lord, in Your anger • Arise, O Lord, in Your anger • Arise, O Lord, in Your strength • In Your strength
Come now Lord, You that judge peoples • See if in my heart there’s not integrity • Arise, my God, rid the world of evil • Pay the wicked back for their perversity
O Lord my God, if I have done this • If there is any blood on my hands • If I have wronged or taken from an enemy • If I’ve repaid with evil all my closest friends

Arise, O Lord, in Your anger • Arise, O Lord, in Your anger • Arise, O Lord, in Your anger • Arise, O Lord, in Your strength
If a man will not repent God’s bow is ready • If a man will not repent He draws His string • If a man will not repent God’s aim is true and steady • He will let the arrow fly and watch it sting
