Psalms 143:5-9

⁵I call to mind the old days; I meditate on all your deeds; I reflect on your accomplishments.

⁶I spread my hands out to you; my soul thirsts for you in a parched land. Selah

⁷Answer me quickly, Yahweh, because my spirit faints. Do not hide your face from me, or I will become like those who go down into the pit.

⁸Let me hear your covenant faithfulness in the morning, for I trust in you. Show me the way where I should walk, for I lift up my soul to you.

⁹Rescue me from my enemies, Yahweh; I flee to you to hide.
