When Evil People Come to Devour Me
Psalm 27: 2-3

When evil people come to devour me,  they will stumble and fall.

When evil people come to devour me,  they will stumble and fall.

Though a mighty army surrounds me, my heart will not be afraid.

Even if I am attacked, my heart will not be afraid!

When evil people come to devour me,  they will stumble and fall.

When evil people come to devour me,  they will stumble and fall.
