Shadows in the Night – A Blues Song Inspired by Psalm 54

** In this video, we delve into the powerful emotions behind Psalm 54, traditionally attributed to King David during a time of deep distress. Fleeing from betrayal, David seeks divine help against his enemies, expressing vulnerability and unwavering faith. His heartfelt plea resonates with anyone facing struggles, reminding us that we are not alone in our darkest moments.

Original Text of Psalm 54 (WEB):

Save me, God, by your name.
Vindicate me in your might.

Hear my prayer, God.
Listen to the words of my mouth.

For strangers have risen up against me.
Violent men have sought after my soul.
They haven’t set God before them.
Selah.

Behold, God is my helper.
The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.

He will repay the evil to my enemies.
Destroy them in your truth.

With a freewill offering, I will sacrifice to you.
I will give thanks to your name, Yahweh, for it is good.

For he has delivered me out of all trouble.
My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.

** Lyrics: Shadows in the Night Blues

(Verse 1)
In the stillness of the night, I call your name,
Oh Lord, hear my cry, I’m lost in this game.
Strangers creeping close, they’re hungry for my soul,
With whispers of betrayal, they’re digging a deep hole.

(Chorus)
Shadows in the night, they dance around me,
But I know you’re my light, setting my heart free.
When the storm gets wild and the darkness draws near,
I’ll trust in your power, I’ll cast away my fear.

(Verse 2)
They don’t see your mercy, just the anger in their eyes,
But I’ll raise my voice higher, let my spirit rise.
You’re the strength in my struggle, my shield through the pain,
In the depths of my sorrow, you wash away the stain.

(Chorus)
Shadows in the night, they dance around me,
But I know you’re my light, setting my heart free.
When the storm gets wild and the darkness draws near,
I’ll trust in your power, I’ll cast away my fear.

(Bridge)
With every tear that falls, I’ll plant a seed of hope,
A freewill offering, Lord, it helps me cope.
You’ve delivered me before, I’ll sing it out loud,
In the echoes of my heart, I’ll make you proud.

(Verse 3)
So when the dawn breaks through, I’ll stand on solid ground,
With my eyes on the horizon, I won’t look back down.
The battles may be fierce, but I’ll never stand alone,
In the shadows of the night, your love will be my home.

(Chorus)
Shadows in the night, they dance around me,
But I know you’re my light, setting my heart free.
When the storm gets wild and the darkness draws near,
I’ll trust in your power, I’ll cast away my fear.

(Outro)
Yeah, shadows in the night, you won’t take my song,
With faith in my heart, I’ll keep moving on.
In the silence of the dark, your truth will shine bright,
You’re my hope, my salvation, my guiding light.
