My soul faints for Your salvation, But I hope in Your word.

LORD, I hope for Your salvation, And I do Your commandments.

I have waited for your salvation, O LORD!

"Although my house [is] not so with God, Yet He has made with me an everlasting covenant, Ordered in all [things] and secure. For [this is] all my salvation and all [my] desire; Will He not make [it] increase?

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But [when] the desire comes, [it is] a tree of life.

I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, If you find my beloved, That you tell him I [am] lovesick! THE DAUGHTERS OF JERUSALEM

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

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

Not only [that,] but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.

But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for [it] with perseverance.

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

I will delight myself in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word.

Your testimonies also [are] my delight [And] my counselors.

And I will delight myself in Your commandments, Which I love.

Let Your tender mercies come to me, that I may live; For Your law [is] my delight.

Your testimonies I have taken as a heritage forever, For they [are] the rejoicing of my heart.

I rejoice at Your word As one who finds great treasure.

My soul keeps Your testimonies, And I love them exceedingly.

But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night.
