A Prayer - Psalm 143 - Constanza

O Lord God, hear me speedily,
My heart within is desolate,
In Thee I trust, for You are great,

I stretch forth my hands unto Thee,
I muse on the work of Thy hands,
Lead me, Lord, into upright lands,

My soul is like a land thirsty,
Instruct me, Lord, how to be still,
Teach me, O God, to do Thy will,

Redeem me from mine enemy, 
Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear,
Deliver me from those I fear,

In Thy faithfulness, answer me,
Quicken me, Lord, for Thy name's sake,
Help me know the way I should take,

O Lord God, hear me speedily,
I stretch forth my hands unto Thee,
My soul is like a land thirsty,
Redeem me from mine enemy, 
In Thy faithfulness, answer me.
