My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When will I come and appear before God?
For You are my God, my stronghold. Why have You spurned me? Why do I go about gloomy because of the oppression of the enemy?
because of the voice of the enemy, because of the pressure of the wicked. For they thrust trouble on me, and in anger bear a grudge against me.
Reckless speech is like the thrusts of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
Between the porch and the altar let the kohanim, ministers of Adonai, weep, and let them say: “Have pity, Adonai, on Your people. Don’t make Your heritage a scorn, a byword among the nations. Why should the peoples say, ‘Where is their God?’”
Then my enemy will see it, and shame will cover her— she who said to me: “Where is Adonai, your God?” My eyes will gaze at her— now she will be trampled like mud in streets.
so the thoughts of many hearts may be uncovered. (And even for you, a sword will pierce through your soul.)”
