My soul breaks for the longing that it has to your judgments at all times.
My soul longs, yes, even faints for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh cries out for the living God.
O God, you are my God; early will I seek you: my soul thirsts for you, my flesh longs for you in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for your commandments.
I have longed for your salvation, O LORD; and your law is my delight.
Behold, I have longed after your precepts: quicken me in your righteousness.
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call on God?
I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved, that you tell him, that I am sick of love.
Hope deferred makes the heart sick: but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.
Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that does righteousness at all times.
