Psalm 143B: Psalm 143:7-12

I Need Thee Every Hour, 66.66.D. [A]

4. 7 LORD, let my prayer prevail;
To answer it make speed.
My spirit quite doth fail;
Hide not Thy face in need,
Lest I be like to those
That do in darkness sit,
Or him that downward goes
To share the dreadful pit.

5. 8 Because I trust in Thee,
O cause Thou me to hear
Thy loving-kindness free,
When morning doth appear.
Make me to know the way
Wherein my path should be,
Because my soul each day
Do I lift up to Thee.

6. 9 O LORD, deliver me
From all who me oppose.
To Thee alone I flee
To hide me from my foes.
10 No God have I but Thee;
Teach me to do Thy will;
Thy Spirit's good; lead me
On even pathway still.

7. 11 O LORD, for Thy name's sake
Be pleased to quicken me;
In righteousness, O take
My soul from misery.
12 In mercy cut off those
That en'mies are to me;
Slay of my soul the foes;
I servant am to Thee.
