I Cry for Mercy to the LORD
- I cry for mercy to the LORD;
to him I lift my voice in prayer.
Before the LORD I bring my plea;
to him my trouble I declare. - Each time my spirit faints in me,
you know my path, you know my way;
for hidden on the path I walk,
a deadly snare for me they lay. - When looking to the right, I see
that no one is concerned for me;
there’s no one who will guard my soul,
no hiding place where I can flee. - I cry to you, O LORD, my God.
I say to you amid the strife,
“You are my trust and hiding place,
my portion in the land of life.” - LORD, I am humbled, very low;
attend my cry and hear my plea.
From strong oppressors set me free,
for they are much too strong for me. - LORD, out of bondage bring my soul,
that I may give your name all praise.
The righteous then will join with me,
for you have shown to me your grace.
