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.
“‘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.
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.
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.
