I lift my hands to you in prayer.
    As a dry land needs rain, I thirst for you. Selah

Lord, answer me quickly,
    because I am getting weak.
Don’t turn away from me,
    or I will be like those who are dead.
Tell me in the morning about your love,
    because I trust you.
Show me what I should do,
    because my prayers go up 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)
