Psalm 143:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ I remember ·what happened long ago [^Lthe former days];
    I ·consider [meditated on] everything you have done.
    I ·think [considered] ·about all you have made [^Lthe work of your hands].
⁶ I ·lift my hands to you in prayer [^Lspread out my hands to you].
    ·As a dry land needs rain, I thirst [^LMy life/soul is like a thirsty/parched land] for you. ·Selah [Interlude]

⁷ Lord, answer me quickly,
    because ·I am getting weak [^Lmy spirit languishes].
Don’t ·turn away [^Lhide your face] from me,
    or I will be like those who ·are dead [^Lgo down to the pit].
