Psalms 143:6 in Context — Psalms 143

4 Mon esprit est abattu au-dedans de moi, Mon cœur est troublé dans mon sein.

5 Je me souviens des jours d’autrefois, Je médite sur toutes tes œuvres, Je réfléchis sur l’ouvrage de tes mains.

6 J’étends mes mains vers toi; Mon âme soupire après toi, comme une terre desséchée. — Pause.

7 Hâte-toi de m’exaucer, ô Éternel! Mon esprit se consume. Ne me cache pas ta face! Je serais semblable à ceux qui descendent dans la fosse.

8 Fais-moi dès le matin entendre ta bonté! Car je me confie en toi. Fais-moi connaître le chemin où je dois marcher! Car j’élève à toi mon âme.
