I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul [thirsteth] after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
Ver. 6. I stretch forth my hands unto thee] As a poor beggar for an alms. Beggary here is not the easiest and poorest trade, but the hardest and richest of all other.
My soul thirsteth after thee] And is therefore a fit subject for thy Spirit of grace and comfort to be poured upon, Isaiah 44:3; Isaiah 55:1 .
