Psalm 143:5-7
International Standard Version

5 I remember the former times,
    meditating on everything you have done.
        I think about the work[a] of your hands.
6 I stretch out my hands toward you,
    longing for you like a parched land.
Interlude

7 Answer me quickly, Lord;
    my spirit is failing.
Do not hide your face from me;
    otherwise, I will become like those who descend to the Pit.[b]
