Psalms 143:3-6

³The evil man has gone after my soul; my life is crushed down to the earth: he has put me in the dark, like those who have long been dead.

⁴Because of this my spirit is overcome; and my heart is full of fear.

⁵I keep in mind the early days of the past, giving thought to all your acts, even to the work of your hands.

⁶My hands are stretched out to you: my soul is turned to you, like a land in need of water. (Selah.)
