Psalm 143 — I Thirst For You

A Ballad

My soul is like a desert, God:
I thirst for You are rain;
O do not hide Your face from me,
For without You I wane.

My enemy has overwhelmed,
Engulfed, and overcome.
My spirit fails; I long for You:
Do not let me succumb.

I trust in You; I flee to You;
Show me the way to go.
Love, do not hide Your face from me
Lest I would be brought low.

My soul is like a desert, God:
I thirst for You are rain;
O do not hide Your face from me,
For without You I wane.
