3For the enemy hath pursued my soul; he hath crushed to the ground my life; he hath made me dwell in darkness, as those that are dead eternally.
4And my spirit within me is overwhelmed: in my bosom is my heart astounded.
5I remember the days of olden times: I meditate on all thy doings: on the work of thy hands do I reflect.
6I spread forth my hands unto thee: my soul longeth for thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
