Psalm 143:7

A Cry For Help

⁶ I stretch out my hands to You;
My soul longs for You, as a parched land. Selah.
⁷ Answer me quickly, O Lord, my spirit fails;
Do not hide Your face from me,
Or I will become like those who go down to the pit.
⁸ Let me hear Your lovingkindness in the morning;
For I trust in You;
Teach me the way in which I should walk;
For to You I lift up my soul.
