Psalm 143:1-6

New King James Version

³ For the enemy has persecuted my soul;
He has crushed my life to the ground;
He has made me dwell in ^[a]darkness,
Like those who have long been dead.
^4 (B)Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me;
My heart within me is distressed.

^5 (C)I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all Your works;
I ^[b]muse on the work of Your hands.
⁶ I spread out my hands to You;
^(D)My soul longs for You like a thirsty land. Selah
