Song Meaning
Praise here is a decision rather than a mood. Smokie Norful sings "I will bless the Lord, at all times" and answers the enemy's approach with a settled mind: "I've made up my mind. I will Bless The Lord." The first verse admits that evil is present on every hand and that things get hard, yet it names God as "a present help" so the singer can stand, a strong tower and a refuge.
The second verse sharpens the confidence, claiming that no demon in hell can prevail because the promises of God say he will deliver. A bridge then trades bravado for loyalty: even if cast aside, the singer will "never ... turn my face from you Lord," calling God his "refuge and strength." From there the song stretches into a vamp of "I will, I will" and repeated "Bless the Lord," with echo responses marked in the lyrics, so the ending is built for call-and-response.
The vow to bless the Lord at all times echoes Psalm 34:1, while the help, refuge, and strong-tower language lines up with Psalm 46:1 and Proverbs 18:10.

I will bless the Lord, At all times.
And his praises shall, remain in my mouth forever.
Magnify the Lord, lets exalt his name.

A present help so I can stand.
Strong tower, refuge, my God, I will Bless the Lord.

No demon in hell shall prevail against me, promises of God said that he'll deliver me
