The psalms of King David and the Tehillim
You know at that time
We had a real understanding of a king, you know
For us, we don't know so much what's a kingdom or a king
We live in a world of fragmentation
Where the majority of the people don't appreciate or
Care about so much about the person that's
That's running things, you know
At that time, the king was the people
The king was the people
Meaning that all the people were a part of the king
The king loved the people with his whole heart
He would do anything for them
He was not just a politician, but he was a warrior, you know
A general on the front lines, He would die for his people
He was a singer, a writer, a poet, all of these different things, you know
A real person
Ani auni vevyone, hashem yashav li
Ezrati, umafalti, atau
Said if You have been a refuge for me
A tower of strength in the face of the enemy
Enemy, enemy
From the end of the earth unto you I call
Isaiah 43:6
Time and again I fall, back to you I crawl
You have been a refuge for me
Tower of strength in the face of the enemy
2 Samuel 22:3; Psalm 18:2
Enemy, enemy, enemy, enemy
Enemy, enemy, enemy, enemy..
Enemy lines, enemy lines
Find I let myself get caught too many times, too many times, yeah
I gave you my heart, taking back what's mine
Yeah, you saved my soul from the other side, yeah, oh
From the end of the earth unto you I call
Time and again I fall, back to you I crawl
Said, if you have been a refuge for me
A tower of strength in the face of the enemy
Enemy, enemy, enemy, enemy
Enemy, enemy, enemy, enemy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(..)
With you I smash a troop and with my God I leap over a wall
2 Samuel 22:30; Psalm 18:29
May the king answer you on the day that you call
Psalm 86:7; Psalm 102:2
Stand tall, battle yawl, from the clouds crawl low
Heavens lay draped over New York City like a prayer shawl
Holy one enthroned upon the praises of Israel
