Psalms 143:5-6

In his distress David remembered former better days. He meditated on God’s acts and works. [Note: See Eugene H. Merrill, "Remembering: A Central Theme in Biblical Worship," Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society 43:1 (March 2000):27-36.] He appealed to the Lord, like a desperate man dying from thirst cries out for water.
