Psalm 119:20

Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

I constantly feel a hunger to understand your laws.

See the chapter Copy

Lord, I cannot wait to enter your Temple. I am so excited! Every part of me cries out to be with the Living God.

God, you are my God. I am searching so hard to find you. Body and soul, I thirst for you in this dry and weary land without water.

My desire to hear your commands is so strong that I wait with open mouth, gasping for breath.

Lord, I want you to save me. Your teachings make me happy.

See how much I want to obey your instructions! Be good to me, and let me live.

A friend loves you all the time, but a brother was born to help in times of trouble.

It will be too late for them to enjoy talking with God All-Powerful. They should have prayed to God all the time.

I tell you, women of Jerusalem, if you find my lover, tell him I am weak with love.

Hope that is delayed makes you sad, but a wish that comes true fills you with joy.

Those who obey his commands are happy. They do good things all the time.
