To You, O LORD, I Cry
- To you, O LORD, I cry; my Rock,
do not be deaf to my lament.
If you are silent I become
like those that to the pit descend. - Receive my plea for mercy, LORD,
as now I call to you for grace;
I lift my hands to you in prayer
and look to your most holy place. - O drag me not away with those
who practice wickedness and sin,
who kindly to their neighbors speak,
but harbor malice deep within. - Repay them for their evil deeds
according to their wickedness;
bring back on them their just reward
and punish their unrighteousness. - Because they slight the works of God
and treat his actions with disdain,
in justice he will tear them down
and never build them up again. - Blest be the LORD, for he has heard
the plea for mercy which I made.
The LORD God is my strength and shield;
I trust in him who sends me aid. - My heart uplifted leaps for joy;
my thanks to him I gladly sing.
The LORD God is his people’s strength,
a saving fortress for his king. - O save your people, your own flock,
and bless your heritage, dear LORD.
Attend them with a shepherd’s care
and carry them forevermore.
