That is why I begin to lose hope
    and my heart is in a state of shock.

I remember the days long ago.
    I reflect on all that you have done.
    I carefully consider what your hands have made.
I stretch out my hands to you in prayer.
    Like parched land, my soul thirsts for you. Selah

So my spirit grows faint within me;
    my heart within me is dismayed.(A)
I remember(B) the days of long ago;
    I meditate(C) on all your works
    and consider what your hands have done.
I spread out my hands(D) to you;
    I thirst for you like a parched land.[a]
