Psalm 119:20

New International Version

My soul is consumed with longing for your laws at all times.

See the chapter Copy

Will they find delight in the Almighty? Will they call on God at all times?

Blessed are those who act justly, who always do what is right.

I open my mouth and pant, longing for your commands.

I long for your salvation, Lord, and your law gives me delight.

How I long for your precepts! In your righteousness preserve my life.

You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water.

My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.

Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you— if you find my beloved, what will you tell him? Tell him I am faint with love.
