I raise my hands to pray to you.
I need you to help me,
    like dry ground needs rain.
Selah
Please answer me soon, Lord.
    I am losing my strength.
Do not turn away from me.
If you do, I will join those people who are going down
    into the deep hole of death.
Every morning, help me to remember your faithful love,
    because I am trusting in you.
Show me how I should live to please you,
    because I know that I belong to you.

I spread out my hands(A) to you;
    I thirst for you like a parched land.[a]

Answer me quickly,(B) Lord;
    my spirit fails.(C)
Do not hide your face(D) from me
    or I will be like those who go down to the pit.
Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,(E)
    for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way(F) I should go,
    for to you I entrust my life.(G)
