Be my Protector

Oh Lord, Master of the universe,
grant me Your protection in this hour of need.

In this day of great tribulation,
where shall I turn, but to You, Oh God!

You are our only Hope.
Do not leave us to our own devices.

Our solutions have about as much wisdom
as an ostrich hiding its head in the sand.
The ostrich thinks
the lion cannot see him, if he cannot see the lion.

Be my Protector and Defender, Oh Good Shepherd!
