Psalm 143:4–5

4 So my spirit grows faint within me;

my heart within me is dismayed.

5 I remember the days of long ago;

I meditate on all your works

and consider what your hands have done.

4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me;

My heart within me is desolate.

5 I remember the days of old;

I meditate on all thy works;

I muse on the work of thy hands.

4 I am losing all hope;

I am paralyzed with fear.

5 I remember the days of old.

I ponder all your great works

and think about what you have done.

4 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me;

My heart within me is distressed.

5 I remember the days of old;

I meditate on all Your works;

I muse on the work of Your hands.

4 I am afraid;

my courage is gone.

5 I remember what happened long ago;

I consider everything you have done.

I think about all you have made.

4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me;

My heart within me is desolate.

5 I remember the days of old;

I meditate on all thy doings;

I muse on the work of thy hands.

4 And my spirit is overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate. 5 I remember the days of old: I meditate on all thy doing; I muse on the work of thy hands.

4 That is why I begin to lose hope 

and my heart is in a state of shock. 

5 I remember the days long ago. 

I reflect on all that you have done. 

I carefully consider what your hands have made. 

4 My spirit is weak within me;

my heart is overcome with dismay.

5 I remember the days of old;

I meditate on all You have done;

I reflect on the work of Your hands.

4 Therefore my spirit faints within me;

my heart within me is appalled.

5 I remember the days of old;

I think about all your deeds;

I meditate on the works of your hands.

4 And so my spirit grows faint within me;

my heart within me is desolate.

5 I remember the days of long ago;

I meditate on all your doings.

I muse on the labor of your hands.

4 So I grow weak.

Deep down inside me, I’m afraid.

5 I remember what happened long ago.

I spend time thinking about all of your acts.

I consider what your hands have done.

4 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me;

My heart is appalled within me.

5 I remember the days of old;

I meditate on all Your doings;

I muse on the work of Your hands.
