Psalm 143:7

A Cry For Help

⁶ I stretched forth my hands unto thee; my soul thirsted after thee, as a thirsty 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 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.
