Psalms 143:5

Psalms 143:5

3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul;
He has crushed my life to the ground;
He has made me dwell in¹ darkness,
Like those who have long been dead.

4 ^aTherefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me;
My heart within me is distressed.

5 ^aI¹ remember the days of old;
I meditate on all Your works;
I muse on the work of Your hands.

6 I spread out my hands to You;
^aMy soul longs for You like a thirsty land. Selah

7 Answer me speedily, O Lord;
My spirit fails!
Do not hide Your face from me,
^aLest I¹ be like those who go down into the pit.
