Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
5

I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.

6

I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.

7

Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.

Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.

9

Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
