This is a modern rendition on Psalm 143. Lyrics adjusted from the CEB. Enjoy!
lyrics
Hear my cry, O for mercy,
Come to my side in your faithfulness, (v. 1)
Don't drag me in to the court,
For who could ever stand,
who could make it in? (v. 2)
With every moment of this whole life, (v. 3)
My mind is numb, my spirit, weak inside, (v. 4)
And every power crushes down,
The boot against my throat, (v. 3)
Why can't I seem to hide?
(Refrain)
I know that all days are you,
Every single hour - there for you, (v. 5)
And so I stretch my hands out wide,
My soul, it thirsts for you now, (v. 6)
(Selah)
My lungs constrict, my breath is failing,
Don't leave me now or I am in despair, (v. 7)
Come morning time whisper love songs,
So I can sing along, so I can love you more, (v. 8)
Make me into a new man,
For your names sake, make me live again, (v. 10-11)
Breathe in me something fresh,
Make me live again,
Make me live again! (v. 10-11)
