New International Version

Psalm 143:5-8 New International Version (NIV)

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.

8. Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.
