and listen to my plea;
faithful, righteous One,
give ear and answer me.
Judge me not, I pray;
no merit dare I claim;
knowing my own faults,
I trust in your just Name.
2 Hounded by a foe
who crushed me to the ground,
I am like the dead
or those in prison bound.
Hopeless, numbed by fear,
I ponder all your care;
thirsty as parched earth,
I lift my hands in prayer.
3 Answer soon, O God;
my spirit faints in me;
do not hide your face,
or I will cease to be.
When the morning dawns,
make known your love anew;
show me how to walk,
for I will trust in you.
4 Keep me safe, O God,
and help me learn your will;
let your Spirit lead
through level pathways still.
For your great Name’s sake,
my griefs and fears dispel;
free me from my foes,
that I may serve you well. Scripture: Psalm 143 Used With Tune: HYMN CHANT
