My soul is overwhelmed with endless longing for your regulations.
Can he be happy with the Almighty? Can he call on God at all times?
Blessed are those who defend justice and do what is right at all times.
I open my mouth and pant because I long for your commandments.
I have longed for you to save me, O Lord, and your teachings make me happy.
I long for your guiding principles. Give me a new life in your righteousness.
O God, you are my God. At dawn I search for you. My soul thirsts for you. My body longs for you in a dry, parched land where there is no water.
My soul longs and yearns for the Lord’s courtyards. My whole body shouts for joy to the living God.
Delayed hope makes one sick at heart, but a fulfilled longing is a tree of life.
A friend always loves, and a brother is born to share trouble.
Young women of Jerusalem, swear to me that if you find my beloved you will tell him I am hopelessly lovesick.
