⁹ With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee earnestly: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

³³ But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

¹ O God, thou art my God; earnestly will I seek thee: My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee, In a dry and weary land, where no water is.

⁶² At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee Because of thy righteous ordinances.

¹⁷ I love them that love me; And those that seek me diligently shall find me.

¹ By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.

² `I said', I will rise now, and go about the city; In the streets and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.

³ The watchmen that go about the city found me; `To whom I said', Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?

⁴ It was but a little that I passed from them, When I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, Until I had brought him into my mother's house, And into the chamber of her that conceived me.

¹⁵ I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me earnestly.

¹² And it came to pass in these days, that he went out into the mountain to pray; and he continued all night in prayer to God.

¹³ And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell; and there were killed in the earthquake seven thousand persons: and the rest were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

³⁵ And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose up and went out, and departed into a desert place, and there prayed.

⁶ Seek ye Jehovah while he may be found; call ye upon him while he is near:

⁹ Therefore by this shall the iniquity of Jacob be forgiven, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: that he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, `so that' the Asherim and the sun-images shall rise no more.

¹¹ So that men shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: Verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth. Psalm 59 For the Chief Musician; `set to' Al-tashheth. `A Psalm' of David. Michtam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.

⁶ When I remember thee upon my bed, `And' meditate on thee in the night-watches.

⁷ For thou hast been my help, And in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

⁹ And all men shall fear; And they shall declare the work of God, And shall wisely consider of his doing.

² In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: My hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not; My soul refused to be comforted.

³ I remember God, and am disquieted: I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah

³⁴ When he slew them, then they inquired after him; And they returned and sought God earnestly.

¹⁸ That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, Art the Most High over all the earth. Psalm 84 For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

⁶ My soul `waiteth' for the Lord More than watchmen `wait' for the morning; `Yea, more than' watchmen for the morning.

² I was asleep, but my heart waked: It is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, `saying', Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled; For my head is filled with dew, My locks with the drops of the night.

³ I have put off my garment; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?

⁴ My beloved put in his hand by the hole `of the door', And my heart was moved for him.

⁵ I rose up to open to my beloved; And my hands droppeth with myrrh, And my fingers with liquid myrrh, Upon the handles of the bolt.

⁶ I opened to my beloved; But my beloved had withdrawn himself, `and' was gone. My soul had failed me when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.

⁷ The watchmen that go about the city found me, They smote me, they wounded me; The keepers of the walls took away my mantle from me.

⁸ I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, If ye find my beloved, That ye tell him, that I am sick from love.

²¹ but in very deed, as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the glory of Jehovah;
