6I lift up my hands/arms to you while I pray; I SYN need you, like very dry ground needs rain SIM.
7Yahweh, I am very discouraged, so please answer me right now! Do not hide from me, because if you do that, I will soon be SIM among those who descend to where the dead people are.
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.
6I spread out my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. Selah ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
7Hurry to answer me, Adonai . My spirit fails. Don’t hide your face from me, so that I don’t become like those who go down into the pit (of Abbadon, the unrighteous side of Sheol).
6I held forth mine hands to thee; my soul (was) as earth without water to thee. (I held out my hands to thee; my soul was like dry ground without water, thirsting for thee.)
7Lord, hear thou me swiftly; my spirit failed. Turn thou not away thy face from me; and I shall be like them that go down into the pit. (Lord, swiftly answer thou me; for my spirit faileth or for my spirit fainteth. Turn thou not away thy face from me; or I shall be like those who go down into the pit.)
