⁶ I have spread forth my hands unto Thee, My soul `is' as a weary land for Thee. Selah.

²⁶ Consumed hath been my flesh and my heart, The rock of my heart and my portion `is' God to the age.

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

³ O that I had known -- and I find Him, I come in unto His seat,
