in my time of need

But be not thou far from me o Lord, o my strength
haste thee to help me
that nigh in my time of need
that thou would come to lift me from misery
tis the pit of darkness
that i have been tossed into
and an escape i cannot see
and tis the scheming and cunning of man
set loose upon me
and i, entangled in this web of deception

o Lord, my Faith and Shield
i implore thou to come to mine aid
be thou the flaming wand
of righteous fury
that do purge the wicked
and with keen edge cut through
the enveloping darkness
and let there be vengeance, yea,
holy and just

i beseech thou:
o, my God i trust in thee, let me not be ashamed
let not mine enemies triumph over me.

amen.
