That’s why my spirit is growing faint inside me; I have nothing left;
    my heart is completely empty and desolate.

And yet I can’t forget the days of old, the days I’ve heard so much about;
    I fix my mind on all You have done;
    I ponder the work of Your hands;
I reach out my hands to You.
    All that I am aches and yearns for You, like a dry land thirsting for rain.
