² My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah; My heart and my flesh cry out unto the living God.

¹ As the hart panteth after the water brooks, So panteth my soul after thee, O God.

² My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: When shall I come and appear before God?

⁶ I spread forth my hands unto thee: My soul `thirsteth' after thee, as a weary land. Selah

²⁶ My flesh and my heart faileth; `But' God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever.

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.

⁸¹ KAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation; `But' I hope in thy word.

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.

² So have I looked upon thee in the sanctuary, To see thy power and thy glory.

¹ Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might quake at thy presence,

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

⁴ He brought me to the banqueting-house, And his banner over me was love.

⁵ Stay ye me with raisins, refresh me with apples; For I am sick from love.

²⁰ My soul breaketh for the longing That it hath unto thine ordinances at all times.

³ Oh that I knew where I might find him! That I might come even to his seat!
