Psalm 143: 8-11

Oh Lord, when I am troubled

I listen for your voice;

I seek you with the morning sun,

I rise up and rejoice.

For though my enemies are strong

And seek to break my will.

I take my refuge in your love;

Through pain, I praise you still.

For in you I will find my joy

And through you I will grow

To rise upon the wings of faith

Where sorrow cannot go.

Psalm 143

⁸ Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
   for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
   for to you I entrust my life.
⁹ Rescue me from my enemies, LORD,
   for I hide myself in you.
¹⁰ Teach me to do your will,
   for you are my God;
may your good Spirit
   lead me on level ground.

 ¹¹ For your name’s sake, LORD, preserve my life;
   in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble.
