Psalm 119:20

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

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

See the chapter Copy

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

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

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

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

Behold, I long for thy precepts; in thy righteousness give me life!

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

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

I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved, that you tell him I am sick with love.

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

Blessed are they who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times!
