For Your deliverance my being has pined away, For I have waited for Your word.
My being has longed, and even fainted, For the courts of יהוה ; My heart and my flesh cry out for the living Ě
See, I have longed for Your orders; Revive me in Your righteousness.
My flesh and my heart shall waste away, But Elohim is the rock of my heart And my portion forever.
I have put you under oath, O daughters of Yerushalayim, If you find my beloved, That you inform him that I am faint with love!
You are my hiding place and my shield; I have waited for Your word.
Let Your compassions come to me, That I might live, For Your Torah is my delight.
Those who fear You see me and rejoice, For I have waited for Your Word.
So that I answer my reprover, For I have trusted in Your word.
My being is crushed with longing For Your right-rulings at all times.
whom I myself shall see on my side, and not a stranger. My kidneys have failed within me!
And let Your kindnesses come to me, O יהוה ; Your deliverance, according to Your word,
And do not take away from my mouth The word of truth entirely, For I have waited for Your right-rulings;
I looked to יהוה, My being has looked, And for His word I have waited.
