Psalm 143
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:
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
