I remember the days of old; I meditate on all your works; I ponder on the work of your hands. I stretch forth my hands unto you: my soul thirsts after you, as a thirsty land. Selah. Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit fails: hide not your face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. Cause me to hear your lovingkindness in the morning; for in you do I trust: cause me to know the way in which I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto you. (Psalms 143:5-8)
