Psalm 143:6-8
Expanded Bible

6 I ·lift my hands to you in prayer [L spread out my hands to you].
    ·As a dry land needs rain, I thirst [L My life/soul is like a thirsty/parched land] for you. ·Selah [Interlude]

7 Lord, answer me quickly,
    because ·I am getting weak [L my spirit languishes].
Don’t ·turn away [L hide your face] from me,
    or I will be like those who ·are dead [L go down to the pit].
8 ·Tell me [Make me hear] in the morning about your ·love [loyalty],
    because I ·trust [have confidence in] you.
·Show me what I should do [L Make me know the way I should walk],
    because ·my prayers go up [L I lift up my soul] to you.
