5. I have called to mind the days of antiquity. I have been meditating on all your works. I have meditated on the workings of your hands.
6. I have extended my hands to you. My soul is like a land without water before you.
7. O Lord, heed me quickly. My spirit has grown faint. Do not turn your face away from me, lest I become like those who descend into the pit.
8. Make me hear your mercy in the morning. For I have hoped in you. Make known to me the way that I should walk. For I have lifted up my soul to you.
