6I stretch out my hands to you in prayer. Like parched land, my soul thirsts for you. Selah 7Answer me quickly, O Lord. My spirit is worn out. Do not hide your face from me, or I will be like those who go into the pit. Let me hear about your mercy in the morning, because I trust you. Let me know the way that I should go, because I long for you. 9Rescue me from my enemies, O Lord. I come to you for protection. 10Teach me to do your will, because you are my God. May your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
