Jehovah is my righteousness;

Jehovah is my righteousness;
In him alone I'll boast;
My tongue his mercy shall confess
Who seeks and saves the lost.

When sunk in fears, with anguish pressed,
Bowed down with weighty woe,
My weary soul in him finds rest;
From him my comforts flow.

I'll lay me down, and sweetly sleep,
For I have peace with God;
And when I wake he shall me keep,
Through faith in Jesus' blood.

Ten thousand and ten thousand foes
Shall not my soul destroy;
My God their counsels overthrows,
And turns my grief to joy.
