4 So I am ready to give up;I am in deep despair.
5 I remember the days gone by;I think about all that you have done,I bring to mind all your deeds.
6 I lift up my hands to you in prayer;like dry ground my soul is thirsty for you.
7 Answer me now, Lord!I have lost all hope.Don't hide yourself from me,or I will be among those who go down to the world of the dead.
8 Remind me each morning of your constant love,for I put my trust in you.My prayers go up to you;show me the way I should go.
9 I go to you for protection, Lord;rescue me from my enemies.
10 You are my God;teach me to do your will.Be good to me, and guide me on a safe path.
