My soul breaketh for the longing That it hath unto thine ordinances at all times.
My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah; My heart and my flesh cry out unto the living God.
O God, thou art my God; earnestly will I seek thee: My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee, In a dry and weary land, where no water is.
I opened wide my mouth, and panted; For I longed for thy commandments.
I have longed for thy salvation, O Jehovah; And thy law is my delight.
Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: Quicken me in thy righteousness. ו VAV.
A friend loveth 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 maketh the heart sick; But when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.
Blessed are they that keep justice, And he that doeth righteousness at all times.
