My soullongedand evenyearnedfor the courtsof the LORD;My heartand my fleshsingfor joyto the livingGod.
"Ohthat I knewwhere I might findHim, That I might cometo His seat!
My soulis crushedwith longingAfterYour ordinancesat alltimes.
My soullanguishesfor Your salvation;I waitfor Your word.
I stretchout my handsto You; My soul[longs] for You, as a parchedland.Selah.
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."
At nightmy soullongsfor You, Indeed,my spiritwithinme seeksYou diligently;For whenthe earthexperiences Your judgmentsThe inhabitantsof the worldlearnrighteousness.
Oh,that You would rendthe heavens[and] comedown,That the mountainsmight quakeat Your presence--
Howfairare your tents,O Jacob,Your dwellings,O Israel!
