My soul longs for your salvation; I hope in your word.
My soul longs, yes, faints for the courts of the Lord; my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God.
Behold, I long for your precepts; in your righteousness give me life!
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
“‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.
I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved, that you tell him I am sick with love.
You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in your word.
Let your mercy come to me, that I may live; for your law is my delight.
Those who fear you shall see me and rejoice, because I have hoped in your word.
then shall I have an answer for him who taunts me, for I trust in your word.
To the choirmaster. A Maskil of the Sons of Korah. As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?
My soul is consumed with longing for your rules at all times.
