1. In Thee, Lord, have I put my trust;
   Leave me not helpless in the dust,
   Let me not be confounded.
   Let in Thy Word
   My faith, O Lord,
   Be ever firmly grounded.

2. Bow down Thy gracious ear to me
   And hear my cries and prayers to Thee,
   Haste Thee for my protection;
   For woes and fear
   Surround me here.
   Help me in mine affliction.

3. My God and Shield, now let Thy pow’r
   Be unto me a mighty tow’r
   Whence bravely I defend me
   Against the foes
   That round me close.
   O Lord, assistance lend me.

4. Thou art my Strength, my Rock, my Lord,
   My Shield,—so saith to me Thy Word—
   My Life, my Help unshaken,
   My God indeed
   In ev’ry need;
   I shall not be o’ertaken.

5. The world for me has falsely set
   Full many‿a secret snare and net
   To tempt me and to harm me.
   Lord, make them fail,
   Do Thou prevail,
   Let their disguise not charm me.

6. My spirit I commend to Thee;
   My God, my God, turn not from me,
   Into Thy hands O take me!
   Thou who hast freed
   From ev’ry need,
   In death do not forsake me.

7. All honor, praise, and majesty
   To Father, Son, and Spirit be,
   One God and Lord o’er all men.
   His mighty pow’r
   Make vict’ry ours
   Through our Lord Jesus, Amen.

In dich hab ich gehoffet, Herr
