⁶ I spread out my hands to You;
^(A)My soul longs for You like a thirsty land. Selah

⁹ My eye wastes away because of affliction.

⁸ And ^(A)may not be like their fathers,
^(B)A stubborn and rebellious generation,
A generation ^(C)that did not ^[a]set its heart aright,
And whose spirit was not faithful to God.

^5 (A)If you would earnestly seek God
And make your supplication to the Almighty,
⁶ If you were pure and upright,
Surely now He would ^[a]awake for you,
And prosper your rightful dwelling place.

^31 (A)Envoys will come out of Egypt;
^(B)Ethiopia will quickly ^(C)stretch out her hands to God.
