Psalm 119:20

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

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

See the chapter Copy

My soul longs, indeed it faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.

O God, you are my God; I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

With open mouth I pant, because I long for your commandments.

I long for your salvation, O Lord, and your law is my delight.

See, I have longed for your precepts; in your righteousness be gracious to me.

A friend loves at all times, and kinsfolk are born to share adversity.

Will they take delight in the Almighty? Will they call upon God at all times?

I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved, tell him this: I am faint with love.

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

Happy are those who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times.
