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.
If only I had knowledge of where he might be seen, so that I might come even to his seat!
My soul is broken with desire for your decisions at all times.
CAPH My soul is wasted with desire for your salvation: but I have hope in your word.
My hands are stretched out to you: my soul is turned to you, like a land in need of water. Selah.
My flesh and my heart are wasting away: but God is the Rock of my heart and my eternal heritage.
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.
In the night the desire of my soul has been for you; early will my spirit be searching for you; for when your punishments come on the earth, the people of the world will get the knowledge of righteousness.
O let the heavens be broken open and come down, so that the mountains may be shaking before you,
How fair are your tents, O Jacob, your houses, O Israel!
