My soul faints for Your salvation; I have hoped in Your words.

I have waited for Your salvation, O Lord, and have loved Your commandments.

waiting for the salvation of the Lord.

For my house [is] not so with the Mighty One; for He has made an everlasting covenant with me, ready, guarded at every time; for all my salvation and all my desire [is], that the wicked should not flourish.

Better is he that begins to help heartily, than he that promises and leads [another] to hope; for a good desire is a tree of life.

I have charged you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the powers and the virtues of the field: if you should find my kinsman, what are you to say to him? That I am wounded with love.

For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man.

O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from this body of death?

And not only that, but also [we] ourselves having the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting adoption, the redemption of our body.

But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly await it with endurance.

For I am hard pressed by the two, having a desire to depart and to be with Christ, which is far better.

I will meditate on Your statutes; I will not forget Your words.

For Your testimonies are my meditation, and Your statutes are my counselors.

And I meditated on Your commandments, which I loved exceedingly.

Let Your compassions come to me, that I may live; for Your law is my meditation.

I have inherited Your testimonies forever; for they are the joy of my heart.

I will rejoice because of Your oracles, as one that finds much spoil.

My soul has kept Your testimonies, and loved them exceedingly.

But his pleasure is in the law of the Lord; and in His law will he meditate day and night.
