Psalm 143:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵ I remember to think about
the many things you did
    in years gone by.
⁶ Then I lift my hands in prayer,
because my soul is a desert,
    thirsty for water from you.

⁷ Please hurry, Lord,
and answer my prayer.
    I feel hopeless.
Don't turn away
    and leave me here to die.
