I remember the days of old, I meditate on all Thy doings, I muse on the work of Thy hands. I spread forth my hands unto Thee, my soul thirsteth after Thee. Cause me to hear Thy loving-kindness in the morning, for in Thee do I trust. Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk, for I lift up my soul to Thee. I flee unto Thee to hide me. Teach me to do Thy will, for Thou art my God. Let Thy good spirit lead me in an even path. Quicken me, O God, for Thy name’s sake. In Thy righteousness, O bring my soul out of trouble.
