Psalms 143:6-8 Dependence on God's mercy

6 I spread out my hands to you;
my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah

7 Answer me quickly, O Lord;
my spirit fails.
Do not hide your face from me
or I will be like those who go down to the pit.

8 Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
for to you I lift up my soul.
