He reached down from heaven
and took hold of me;
He pulled me out of deep waters.

My eyes are worn out from crying.
Lord, I cry out to You all day long;
I spread out my hands to You.

I called to the Lord in my distress,
and I cried to my God for help.
From His temple He heard my voice,
and my cry to Him reached His ears.

I spread out my hands to You;
I am like parched land before You.Selah

If we had forgotten the name of our God
and spread out our hands to a foreign god,

No, you practice injustice in your hearts;
with your hands you weigh out violence in the land.

Ambassadors will come from Egypt;
Cush will stretch out its hands to God.
