KAPH: My soul faints for Your salvation; I hope in Your Word.
whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not a stranger's; though my heart be exhausted in my bosom.
You are my hiding-place and my shield; I hope in Your Word.
My soul breaks for the longing that it has to Your judgments at all times.
Behold, I have longed after Your Commandments; in Your righteousness give me life.
VAU: Let Your mercies come to me, O Jehovah, even according to Your salvation, according to Your Word.
And I shall have something to answer him who mocks me; for I trust in Your Word.
And take not the Word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in Your judgments.
They who fear You will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in Your Word.
Let Your tender mercies come to me so that I may live; for Your Law is my delight.
I wait for Jehovah, my soul waits, and in His Word I hope.
My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the strength of my heart, and my part forever.
My soul longs, yea, even faints for the courts of Jehovah; my heart and my flesh shout for joy to the living God.
I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my Beloved, what do you tell Him? That I am sick with love.
