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.)
7Be quick in answering me, O Lord, for the strength of my spirit is gone: let me see your face, so that I may not be like those who go down into the underworld.
