My soul breaks for the longing that it has to Your judgments at all times.
My soul longs, yea, even faints for the courts of Jehovah; my heart and my flesh shout for joy to the living God.
A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, You are my God; I will seek You earnestly; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You, as in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
I opened my mouth and panted; for I longed for Your Commandments.
I have longed for Your salvation, O Jehovah; and Your Law is my delight.
Behold, I have longed after Your Commandments; in Your righteousness give me life.
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for the time of trouble.
Will he delight himself in the Almighty? Will he always call on God?
I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my Beloved, what do you tell Him? That I am sick with love.
Hope put off makes the heart sick, but desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
Blessed are those who keep judgment, he who does righteousness at all times.
