Psalm 143:4-7 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

⁴My spirit grows faint within me;

my heart is dismayed inside me.

⁵I remember the days of old;

I meditate on all Your works;

I consider the work of Your hands.

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.

— Psalm 143:4-7
