My soul longs, yea, even faints for the courts of Jehovah; my heart and my flesh shout for joy to the living God.
With my soul I desired You in the night; yea, with my spirit within me I will seek You early; for when Your judgments are in the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness.
KAPH: My soul faints for Your salvation; I hope in Your Word.
I stretch forth my hands to You; my soul thirsts after You like a thirsty land. Selah.
My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the strength of my heart, and my part forever.
My soul breaks for the longing that it has to Your judgments at all times.
I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my Beloved, what do you tell Him? That I am sick with love.
Oh that I knew where I might find Him, that I might come even to His seat!
Oh that You would tear the heavens and come down, that mountains would quake before You,
How goodly are your tents, O Jacob, your tabernacles, O Israel!
