² My soul longs, indeed it faints,
    for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh sing for joy
    to the living God.^(A)

⁹ My soul yearns for you in the night;
    my spirit within me earnestly seeks you.
For when your judgments are in the earth,
    the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.^(A)

¹ As a deer longs for flowing streams,
    so my soul longs for you, O God.^(A)
2 My soul thirsts for God,
    for the living God.
When shall I come and behold
    the face of God?^(B)

⁶ I stretch out my hands to you;
    my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah^(A)
