my soul coveteth, and faileth into the porches of the Lord. Mine heart, and my flesh; full out joyed into quick God [or God alive].
Who giveth to me, that I know, and find him, and come unto his throne?
My soul coveted to desire thy justifyings; in all time.
[Caph.] My soul failed into thine health; and I hoped more in thy word.
I held forth mine hands to thee; my soul was as earth without water to thee.
My flesh and mine heart failed; God of mine heart, and my part is God without end.
Ye daughters of Jerusalem, I beseech you by an holy thing, if ye have found my darling, that ye tell to him, that I am sick for love.
My soul shall desire thee in the night, but also with my spirit in mine entrails; from the morrowtide I shall wake to thee. When thou shalt make thy dooms in [the] earth, all dwellers of the world shall learn rightfulness [or rightwiseness].
I would that thou brakest heavens, and camest down, that hills floated away from thy face,
How fair be thy tabernacles, Jacob, and thy tents, Israel!
