Psalm 143:6-8

Common English Bible

⁶ I stretch out my hands to you;
    my whole being is like dry dirt, thirsting for you.^[a] Selah

⁷ Answer me, Lord—and quickly! My breath is fading.
    Don’t hide your face from me
        or I’ll be like those going down to the pit!
⁸ Tell me all about your faithful love come morning time,
    because I trust you.
Show me the way I should go,
    because I offer my life up to you.
