Psalms 143:6 in Context — Psalms 143

4 Y mi espíritu se angustió dentro de mí; pasmóse mi corazón.

5 Acordéme de los días antiguos; meditaba en todas tus obras; reflexionaba en las obras de tus manos.

6 Extendí mis manos á ti; mi alma á ti como la tierra sedienta. (Selah.)

7 Respóndeme presto, oh Jehová que desmaya mi espíritu: no escondas de mí tu rostro, y venga yo á ser semejante á los que descienden á la sepultura.

8 Hazme oir por la mañana tu misericordia, porque en ti he confiado: hazme saber el camino por donde ande, porque á ti he alzado mi alma.
