5. I remembered the days of old; I meditated on all thy works; I mused on the work of thy hands.
6. I stretched forth my hands unto thee; my soul thirsted after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
7. Hear me speedily, O Lord; my spirit fails; hide not thy face from me lest I be like those that go down into the grave.
8. Cause me to hear thy mercy in the morning, for in thee do I trust; cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul unto thee.
