My soul breaks for the longing that it has to thine ordinances at all times.
My soul longs, yea, even faints for the courts of LORD. My heart and my flesh cry out to the living God.
O God, thou are my God. I will earnestly seek thee. My soul thirsts for thee, my flesh longs for thee, in a dry and weary land, where is no water.
I opened wide my mouth, and panted, for I longed for thy commandments.
I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD, and thy law is my delight.
Behold, I have longed after thy precepts. Enliven me in thy righteousness.
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
Will he delight himself in the Almighty, and call upon God at all times?
I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him that I am sick from love.
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.
Blessed are those who keep justice, and he who does righteousness at all times.
