Psalm 143:6-8
Easy-to-Read Version

6 I lift my hands in prayer to you.
    I am waiting for your help, like a dry land waiting for rain. Selah

7 Hurry and answer me, Lord!
    I have lost my courage.
Don’t turn away from me.
    Don’t let me die and become like the people lying in the grave.
8 Show me your faithful love this morning.
    I trust in you.
Show me what I should do.
    I put my life in your hands!

Psalm 143:6-8
New International Version

6 I spread out my hands(A) to you;
    I thirst for you like a parched land.[a]

7 Answer me quickly,(B) Lord;
    my spirit fails.(C)
Do not hide your face(D) from me
    or I will be like those who go down to the pit.
8 Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,(E)
    for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way(F) I should go,
    for to you I entrust my life.(G)
