Psalm-57 (Original)

(Psalm of Deliverance: God saves His people.) God worked wonders For his people When he delivered them From Egyptian bondage. Thus the story is told: A destitute nation In a land that was strange— With feet shackled And hands chained— Was ruled by Pharaoh An oppressive king, From whose hands No freedom rang. They cried in affliction With wailing aggression, And God delivered From hell's oppression. 'Twas a mighty deliverance, So the story goes. He showed his strength That men of sod Might know the power Of an awesome God.
