CAPH My soul is wasted with desire for your salvation: but I have hope in your word.
Whom I will see on my side, and not as one strange to me. My heart is broken with desire.
You are my secret place and my breastplate against danger; my hope is in your word.
My soul is broken with desire for your decisions at all times.
See how great is my desire for your orders: give me life in your righteousness.
VAU Let your mercies come to me, O Lord, even your salvation, as you have said.
So that I may have an answer for the man who would put me to shame; for I have faith in your word.
Take not your true word quite out of my mouth; for I have put my hope in your decisions.
Your worshippers will see me and be glad; because my hope has been in your word.
Let your gentle mercies come to me, so that I may have life; for your law is my delight.
I am waiting for the Lord, my soul is waiting for him, and my hope is in his word.
My flesh and my heart are wasting away: but God is the Rock of my heart and my eternal heritage.
The passion of my soul's desire is for the house of the Lord; my heart and my flesh are crying out for the living God.
I say to you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you see my loved one, what will you say to him? That I am overcome with love.
