Psalm 119:20

English Standard Version 2016

My soul is consumed with longing for your rules at all times.

See the chapter Copy

My soul longs, yes, faints for the courts of the Lord; my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God.

O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

I open my mouth and pant, because I long for your commandments.

I long for your salvation, O Lord, and your law is my delight.

Behold, I long for your precepts; in your righteousness give me life!

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

Will he take delight in the Almighty? Will he call upon God at all times?

I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved, that you tell him I am sick with love.

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.

Blessed are they who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times!
