Psalm 6

Psalm 6

Brian West

Chorus:
Return, oh Lord, and rescue my soul
Save me in Your kind, endless love

Oh Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger,
Nor discipline me in Your wrath.
Be gracious to me, LORD, for I weaken;
Oh heal me, LORD, my bones suffer attack.

Pre-Chorus:
My soul is bent and bruised;
Oh Lord, oh Lord, how long?

CHORUS

The dead do not remember you, oh Lord,
Nor give You any thanks from the grave
I weary from my tears and soak my pillow
Through grief and stress my vision decays

PRE-CHORUS/CHORUS

Oh, go away from me, you wicked workers
The Lord has heard my weeping, heard my pleas
Oh may my enemies be shocked and shamed
Ashamed, oh may they turn from me and leave

PRE-CHORUS/CHORUS

Psalm 143

Psalm 143

Brian West

Chorus:
Answer me quickly, Lord,
My spirit is failing
Do not hide Your face from me
Or I'll be like those in the grave
Let me hear mercy, Lord,
Lovingkindness at daybreak
In Your way won't You lead me
For I trust in You to save

Hear my prayer, oh Lord,
Give ear to my pleading
Righteous and faithful You are
So answer my entreaty
Judge me not, oh Lord,
For I am still Your servant
No one alive is righteous in Your sight 

CHORUS

My enemy has pursued
My soul; my life he’s pulverized
Pushed in the dark like a tomb
Like those who long ago had died
My spirit weak and frail,
My heart inside is horrified
I cling to hope, rememb’ring the days of old 

CHORUS

I meditate on Your deeds
I ponder what Your hands have done
Spread out my hands to receive,
I thirst as one in desert suns
I lift my soul to You,
Deliver me from enemies
I seek in You protection, rest and refuge

CHORUS

Teach me to do Your will
You are my God, Your Spirit good
Leads me in level fields.
Revive me like You said you would
For Your name’s sake, oh Lord
In righteousness save from distress
Destroy my enemies; I am Your servant, oh Lord

CHORUS

Psalm 130

Psalm 130

Brian West

Out of despair, I cry a prayer:
Hear my voice, oh Lord!
Let Your ears be list’ning for me;
Let mercy be my reward.

 Chorus:
Oh Israel, put your hope in the Lord
For in the Lord is unfailing love
And full redemption

If You had been counting our sins,
Oh Lord, who could survive?
But You forgive again and again;
We rev’rence You, God on high

 CHORUS

All through the night, watchmen await,
Longing to see the morn;
So waits my soul, for He is my hope,
I’m waiting for the Lord

CHORUS

Mercy and love arrive with the Lord,
Eagerly He redeems
Israel again from all kinds of sin,
From its captivity

CHORUS

Psalm 51

Psalm 51

Brian West

Chorus:
Oh, God, I know, I know, I know, I know my sin
So won’t You create a clean heart in me again?

Have mercy on me, God,
Your love is never-failing
Erase the wrongs I’ve done
Through mercy great and faithful

Wash me through and through
From my own sin please purify
I’ve sinned against just You,
I've done what's evil in Your sight

You are just when You speak
And blameless when You judge

CHORUS

In sin was I conceived,
Was born into iniquity
But truth is all You need
Deep in the hidden heart of me

There You make me wise
You purify me; I am clean
You make me snowy white
And make me hear Your joy supreme

Let the bones sing joyfully
That once, oh Lord, you crushed

CHORUS

From my sins hide Your face
Blot out all of my guilt and sin
A clean heart please create
Renew my spirit firm within

Cast me not away
From where You are; don’t take from me
Your Holy Spirit; make
The joy of Your salvation real

With a willing spirit fill,
Sustain and strengthen me

CHORUS

Transgressors I will teach
Your ways, that sinners come to You
From guilt of blood release
Me, God of my salvation true

Then my tongue with joy
Will sing of all Your righteousness
Lord, set loose my voice
That my mouth may Your praise express

I would give You sacrifice
But with off’rings You’re not pleased

CHORUS

Our broken spirits are
To God a pleasing sacrifice
A humble, contrite heart
Oh, God, You never will despise

By Your pleasure, build
Jerusalem’s walls so high
Then how delighted will
You be with righteous sacrifice

In off’rings burnt and bulls
On Your altar offered up

CHORUS

Psalm 32

Psalm 32

Brian West

Chorus:
The Lord who loves me whole
Longs to lead me
And guide me into His way
So I will bare my soul,
I will admit my sin
To receive His freedom and grace

Blessed are you whose sins are forgiven,
Whose wrongs are out of sight
Whose slate the Lord has wiped clean
And whose heart is empty of lies

When I was silent and swallowed my sin
My strength was drained away
Lord, Your hand was heavy on me
Like a summer's heat night and day 

CHORUS

I didn’t hide from You my iniquity,
Showed You the evil within.
I confessed my transgression to You;
You forgave the guilt of my sin.

So let the godly pray to You
Whenever You may be found
When great waters flow in like a flood,
They may not be pulled in and drowned 

CHORUS

You are my hiding place from trouble
You will preserve me
You surround me with victory songs;
Your deliverance we sing 

Lord, You instruct me and ever will teach me
The way that I should go;
You will give Your counsel to me,
Your eye on me wherever I go 

CHORUS

Don’t be a mule with no understanding,
A horse who has no sense.
They will never come near without
Bit and bridle to keep them in check. 

Many the sorrows that come to the wicked,
But those who trust the Lord
Are surrounded with unfailing love,
So rejoice, you upright in heart!

CHORUS

Psalm 16

Chorus:
Save me, O God, You are my refuge,
My only good: You are my Lord.
With You I find the living pathway,
Joy and pleasures forevermore

Godly people spread out over all the world
They are the noble ones who put my spirit at ease
Chasers of idols multiply their sorrows and pain
I’ll never worship or name the idol deities

CHORUS

Lord, You are all I ever need inherit or own.
My cup of blessing, Protector of whate’er I receive
Pleasant the places You mapped out for me and my kin;
Beautiful is the heritage You’ve given to me.

CHORUS

I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel
Even at night my heart keeps on teaching me
I will keep the Lord before me all the time
I’ll not be shaken, for He is my guarantee

CHORUS

So I rejoice; my heart and abundance are glad
Fully at rest, my body is secure and safe
You won’t abandon my soul to the dwelling of death
Nor will You let Your Holy One to suffer decay

CHORUS
