Lord, hear me in distress,
regard my suppliant cry,
And in Thy faithfulness
and righteousness reply.
In judgment do not cause
Thy servant to be tried;
Before Thy holy laws
no man is justified.
The enemy has sought
my soul in dust to tread;
To darkness I am brought,
forgotten as the dead.
My spirit, crushed with grief,
is sad and overborne;
My heart finds no relief,
but desolate I mourn.
Recalling former days
and all Thy wondrous deeds,
The memory of Thy ways
to hope and comfort leads.
To Thee I stretch my hands,
let me not plead in vain;
I wait as weary lands
wait for refreshing rain.
My failing spirit see,
O Lord to me make haste;
Hide not Thy face from me,
less bitter death I taste.
O let the morn return,
let mercy light my day;
For Thee in faith I yearn,
O guide me in the way.
Lord, save me from my foe,
to Thee for help I flee;
Teach me Thy way to know,
I have no God but Thee.
By Thy good Spirit led
from trouble and distress,
My erring feet shall tread
the path of uprightness.
O Lord, for Thy Name’s sake
revive my fainting heart;
My soul from trouble take,
for just and true Thou art.
Remove mine enemy,
my cruel foes reward;
In mercy rescue me
who am Thy servant, Lord.
