Take control of what I say, O LORD,
and guard my lips.
Don’t let me drift toward evil…
When I am overwhelmed,
you alone know the way I should turn.
Then I pray to you, O LORD.
I say, “You are my place of refuge.
You are all I really want in life.
I lift my hands to you in prayer.
I thirst for you as parched land thirsts for rain.
Come quickly, LORD…
