PSALMS 143:6-11

⁶I spread forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a weary land. Selah

⁷Make haste to answer me, O LORD; my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me; lest I become like them that go down into the pit.

⁸Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.

⁹Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.

¹⁰Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me in the land of uprightness.

¹¹Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name’s sake: in thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
