Psalm 143:5-7

Good News Translation

⁵ I remember the days gone by;
    I think about all that you have done,
    I bring to mind all your deeds.
⁶ I lift up my hands to you in prayer;
    like dry ground my soul is thirsty for you.

⁷ Answer me now, Lord!
    I have lost all hope.
Don't hide yourself from me,
    or I will be among those who go down to the world of the dead.
