A Shield For Me (Psalm 3)
But You, O Lord, are a shield about me,
My glory, and the One who lifts my head.
I was crying to the Lord with my voice,
And He answered me from His holy mountain. Psalm 3:3-4 NASB
“A Shield For Me” is based almost exactly on the text of Psalm 3, set in a contemporary praise style for your church’s praise team, yet evoking the lyrical style of more traditional hymns. It is available in the “performance” key of B, a medium male key of A, and a female vocal-led key of D. While some vocal lines might be more complicated than needed for corporate worship, they can easily be simplified.
- Style: Contemporary
- Tempo: Medium (73 bpm)
- Key(s): B, A, D
- Difficulty: ⭐⭐⭐ / 5
- Assets: Chord Chart, Lead Sheet, Stems, Reference Track, Synced Lyric Video
Churches can stack tracked stems as needed in order to create custom backing tracks, or pitch shift stems to perform the song in additional keys.
Note: Reference recordings are produced with AI voices to keep artists anonymous. Lyric videos do not have song names at the beginning like the video reference below.
Lyrics:
My adversaries are many
Many rise up against me
They say of my soul
“There is no salvation found in Thee”
Oh God, you are a shield for me
You lift my head unto your glory
I will lift my voice and call to You
From the mount, You will answer me
When I lay down to sleep
When I awake, You sustain me
I will not be afraid of thousands
Who have set themselves against Thee
Arise, and save me, oh my God
As You defeat my enemies
You shatter the teeth of wicked men
My salvation belongs to Thee
