6I stretch out my hands to You;
my soul thirsts for You like a parched land.
7Answer me quickly, O LORD;
my spirit fails.
Do not hide Your face from me,
or I will be like those who descend to the Pit.
8Let me hear Your loving devotion in the morning,
for I have put my trust in You.
Teach me the way I should walk,
for to You I lift up my soul.
9Deliver me from my enemies, O LORD;
I flee to You for refuge.
10Teach me to do Your will,
for You are my God.
May Your good Spirit lead me
on level ground.
11For the sake of Your name, O LORD,
revive me.
In Your righteousness,
bring my soul out of trouble.
— Psalm 143:6-11
