5I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the deeds of thy hands.
6I stretch forth my hands unto thee; My soul thirsteth for thee, like a parched land.
7Hear me speedily, O LORD! My spirit faileth; Hide not thy face from me. Lest I become like those who go down to the pit!
8Cause me so see thy loving-kindness speedily; For in thee do I trust! Make known to me the way which I should take; For to thee do I lift up my soul!
9Deliver me, O LORD! from mine enemies; For in thee do I seek refuge!
