• 1:07
  into the cave to be sung to the tune.

  high to God, who will fulfill his promise to me.

  He will send help from Heaven to rescue me disgracing.

  Those who Hound me? My God will send forth his

  I am surrounded by Fierce Lions. Who greedily devour human prey.

  Above the highest Heavens. May your glory shine over all

  path but they themselves have fallen into it.

  My heart is confident in you. O God, my heart is confident.

  highest Heavens. May your glory shine over all
• 3:35
  the Earth. I'll father, thank you.

  Shadow of Your Wings, until the danger passes by help us find
• 4:08
  our refuge in you. Not to look for All the things
• 4:13
  that the world tells us or provide us with that Refuge to

• 4:23
  kindness and provision for us. Shelter us father, remind us of
