Psalm 143:5-7

New Century Version

⁵ I remember what happened long ago;
    I consider everything you have done.
    I think about all you have made.
⁶ I lift my hands to you in prayer.
    As a dry land needs rain, I thirst for you. Selah

⁷ Lord, answer me quickly,
    because I am getting weak.
Don’t turn away from me,
    or I will be like those who are dead.
