Gill's Notes on the Bible
I stretch forth my hands unto thee,.... In prayer, as the Targum adds; for this is a prayer gesture, 1 Kings 8:38; both hands were stretched forth, earnestly imploring help, and ready to receive and embrace every blessing bestowed with thankfulness;
my soul [thirsteth] after thee as a thirsty land. As a dry land, which wants water, gapes, and as it were thirsts for rain, which is very refreshing to it; so his soul thirsted after God, after his word and ordinances, after communion with him in them, after his grace and fresh supplies of it; particularly after pardoning grace and mercy, after the coming of Christ, and the blessings of grace by him; as reconciliation, atonement, righteousness, and salvation; after more knowledge of God and Christ, and divine truths; and after the enjoyment of them in heaven to all eternity. Some copies read, "in a thirsty land" x, and so some versions; see Psalms 42:1.
Selah; on this word, Psalms 42:1- :.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
I stretch forth my hands unto thee - In prayer. I have nowhere else to go. See Psalms 88:9.
My soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land - As land in a time of drought “seems” to thirst for rain. See the notes at Psalms 63:1. Compare Psalms 42:1. The word rendered “thirsty” here means properly “weary.” The idea is that of a land which seems to be weary; which has no vigor of growth; and where everything seems to be exhausted. The same word occurs in Isaiah 32:2 : “As the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.”
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 143:6. I stretch forth my hands — This is a natural action. All in distress, or under the influence of eager desire, naturally extend their hands and arms, as if to catch at help and obtain succour.
As a thirsty land. — Parched and burned by the sun, longs for rain, so does my thirsty soul for the living God.
