²⁰ Broken hath my soul for desire Unto Thy judgments at all times.

² My soul desired, yea, it hath also been consumed, For the courts of Jehovah, My heart and my flesh cry aloud unto the living God,

¹ A Psalm of David, in his being in the wilderness of Judah. O God, Thou `art' my God, earnestly do I seek Thee, Thirsted for Thee hath my soul, Longed for Thee hath my flesh, In a land dry and weary, without waters.

¹³¹ My mouth I have opened, yea, I pant, For, for Thy commands I have longed.

⁴⁰ Lo, I have longed for Thy precepts, In Thy righteousness quicken Thou me,

¹ To the Overseer. -- An Instruction. By sons of Korah. As a hart doth pant for streams of water, So my soul panteth toward Thee, O God.

² My soul thirsted for God, for the living God, When do I enter and see the face of God?

¹⁵ I have known thy works, that neither cold art thou nor hot; I would thou wert cold or hot.

¹⁶ So -- because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to vomit thee out of my mouth;

⁸ I have adjured you, daughters of Jerusalem, If ye find my beloved -- What do ye tell him? that I `am' sick with love!

¹⁷ At all times is the friend loving, And a brother for adversity is born.

¹² Hope prolonged is making the heart sick, And a tree of life `is' the coming desire.

¹⁷⁴ I have longed for Thy salvation, O Jehovah, And Thy law `is' my delight.

³ O the happiness of those keeping judgment, Doing righteousness at all times.

¹¹ On His step hath my foot laid hold, His way I have kept, and turn not aside,

¹² The command of His lips, and I depart not. Above my allotted portion I have laid up The sayings of His mouth.

¹⁰ On the Mighty doth he delight himself? Call God at all times?
