I stretch out my hands toward you,
    my soul to you like a parched land.(A)
Selah
Hasten to answer me, Lord;
    for my spirit fails me.
Do not hide your face from me,
    lest I become like those descending to the pit.(B)
In the morning let me hear of your mercy,
    for in you I trust.
Show me the path I should walk,
    for I entrust my life to you.(C)

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)
