My soullanguishesfor Your salvation;I waitfor Your word.

Behold,I longfor Your precepts;Reviveme through Your righteousness.Vav.
My fleshand my heartmay fail,But Godis the strengthof my heartand my portionforever.
"I adjureyou, O daughtersof Jerusalem,Ifyou findmy beloved,As to whatyou will tellhim: For I am lovesick."
You are my hidingplaceand my shield;I waitfor Your word.
May Your compassioncometo me that I may live,For Your lawis my delight.
May those who fearYou seeme and be glad,BecauseI waitfor Your word.
So I will havean answerfor him who reproachesme, For I trustin Your word.
My soulis crushedwith longingAfterYour ordinancesat alltimes.
WhomI myselfshall behold,And whom my eyeswill seeand not another.My heartfaintswithinme!
May Your lovingkindnessesalso cometo me, O LORD,Your salvationaccording to Your word;
And do not takethe wordof truthutterlyout of my mouth,For I waitfor Your ordinances.
I waitfor the LORD,my souldoes wait,And in His worddo I hope.
