New International Version

Psalm 143:4-7 New International Version (NIV)

4. So my spirit grows faint within me; my heart within me is dismayed.

5. I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done.

6. I spread out my hands to you; I thirst for you like a parched land.

7. Answer me quickly, Lord; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me or I will be like those who go down to the pit.
