Psalms 143:5

Read in context

Psalms 143:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible

3 For the enemy has pursued my soul, crushing my life to the ground, making me dwell in darkness like those long since dead.

4 My spirit grows faint within me; my heart is dismayed inside me.

5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I consider the work of Your hands.

6 I stretch out my hands to You; my soul thirsts for You like a parched land. Selah

7 Answer 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.
