Psalm 143:3-8
King James Version
Psalm 143:3-8
King James Version
3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
7 Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.

Psalm 143:3-8
New International Version
3 The enemy pursues me,
he crushes me to the ground;
he makes me dwell in the darkness(A)
like those long dead.(B)
4 So my spirit grows faint within me;
my heart within me is dismayed.(C)
5 I remember(D) the days of long ago;
I meditate(E) on all your works
and consider what your hands have done.
6 I spread out my hands(F) to you;
I thirst for you like a parched land.[a]
