Psalms 143:3-6

³My enemies have pursued me; they have completely defeated me. It is as though they have put me in a dark prison, where I have nothing good to ◄ hope for/expect►, like those who died long ago SIM.

⁴So I am very discouraged; I am very dismayed/worried.

⁵I remember what has happened previously: I ◄meditate on/think about► all the things that you have done; I consider all the great deeds that you SYN have performed.

⁶I lift up my hands/arms to you while I pray; I SYN need you, like very dry ground needs rain SIM.
