Holy Scripture
Psalms 143:6
A church father on this verse
“I stretched out my hands to you. Bound by the enemy, I can do nothing else except do penance, and lift up my hands to you. My soul is as earth without water to you. As earth without water thirsts and seeks the rain, so too my soul longs for and thirsts after you, its God.”

4Man is like to vanity: His days pass as a shadow.
5O Lord, bow thy heavens, and come down: Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
— Psalms 143:6 —
7Send forth thy hand from on high; Rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, Out of the hand of strange children;
8Whose mouth has spoken vanity, And their right hand is a right hand of iniquity.
