5I think of days long ago, and as I meditate I talk to myself about all you have done, I reflect on what you have accomplished.
6I stretch out my hands to you, thirsting for you like dried-out land. Selah.
7Please answer me quickly, Lord! I'm dying! Don't turn away otherwise I'll be just like those who are going down into the grave.
8Tell me every morning about your trustworthy love, because I put my confidence in you. Show me the way I should go, because I dedicate myself to you.
9Save me from those who hate me, Lord—I run to you for protection.
