Holy Scripture
Psalms 142:7
A church father on this verse
“Bring my soul out of custody, that it may confess to your name. That is, out of this body. To confess, that is, to glorify, as he says: "I confess to you, Father." The righteous await me, until you reward me. The Lord says: The apostles await me, until I rise again from the dead.”

5I remembered the days of old; And I meditated on all thy doings: Yea, I meditated on the works of thy hands.
6I spread forth my hands to thee; My soul thirsts for thee, as a dry land. Pause.
— Psalms 142:7 —
8Cause me to hear thy mercy in the morning; For I have hoped in thee; Make known to me, O Lord, the way wherein I should walk; For I have lifted up my soul to thee.
9Deliver me from mine enemies, O Lord; For I have fled to thee for refuge.
