Revive Me, Lord | A Psalm 119 Blues | Resh Stanza Song

🎵 Revive Me, Lord" is a raw, soul-rooted blues lament drawn straight from the Resh stanza (ר) of Psalm 119, verses 153–160. It’s a desperate cry for mercy, a midnight plea for redemption, and a declaration of unshaken love for the eternal Word of God.

This part of Psalm 119 captures the voice of someone hunted and heart-heavy, surrounded by enemies yet faithful to God’s truth. The songwriter — possibly King David, though some scholars suggest Ezra the Scribe during the post-exilic era — gives us a model for what it means to walk in God’s Word when nothing else holds.

In a world that feels like it’s falling apart, “Revive Me, Lord” brings this ancient cry into the rhythm and soul of the blues — music that knows how to weep and worship at the same time. Every line echoes with Scripture. Every note carries centuries of hope.

📜 Psalm 119:153–160 (WEB)

153 Consider my affliction, and deliver me,
for I don’t forget your law.

154 Plead my cause, and redeem me!
Revive me according to your promise.

155 Salvation is far from the wicked,
for they don’t seek your statutes.

156 Great are your tender mercies, Yahweh.
Revive me according to your ordinances.

157 Many are my persecutors and my adversaries.
I haven’t swerved from your testimonies.

158 I look at the faithless with loathing,
because they don’t observe your word.

159 Consider how I love your precepts.
Revive me, Yahweh, according to your loving kindness.

160 All of your words are truth.
Every one of your righteous ordinances endures forever.

🎶 Lyrics – “Revive Me, Lord”

[Intro – Slow and Heavy Slide Guitar]
O Lord, You see my pain
(I’m holdin’ on…)
I ain’t forgotten Your word, not once
Still I wait for You to move
[Slide guitar with soft vocal hums]

[Verse 1]
Consider my affliction — come deliver me again
(I’m cryin’, Lord…)
I ain’t forgotten Your law, not even in the pain
[Slide guitar wails]
[Plead my cause, Lord]
Redeem me, O my King
(Revive me, Lord)
[Revive me according to Your promise]

[Verse 2]
Salvation’s far from the wicked
They don’t chase after Your way
They love the dark, Lord
(But I’m lookin’ for Your day)
[Bring Your mercy down]
Great are Your tender mercies, Yahweh
(Revive me again)
[Revive me according to Your ordinances]

[Verse 3]
Persecutors all around me
Enemies at every gate
I didn’t leave Your path, Lord
(I ain’t takin’ their bait)
[Keep me close, Lord]
Your Word’s the anchor
(Revive me, Lord)
[Your truth is the fire in my soul]

[Verse 4]
I see the faithless — it turns my soul cold
They throw Your word down
(Like it ain’t pure gold)
[But I remember You]
I love Your precepts, I hold ‘em tight
(Revive me, Yahweh)
[Revive me in Your loving kindness and light]

[Final Verse – Let It Settle In Deep]
All Your words are truth
Every righteous call
Stands forever
(Never gonna fall)
[Spoken softly]
They burn like fire in the bones of time
Eternal and good, unshakable, divine
(Revive me, Lord)
(Revive me, Lord)
