My soul [my life, my very self] thirsts for You, my flesh longs and sighs for You,
In a dry and weary land where there is no water.


My soul (my life, my inner self) thirsts for God, for the living God.
When will I come and see the face of God?


I long for Your salvation, O Lord,
And Your law is my delight.


I reach out my hands to You;
My throat thirsts for You, as a parched land [thirsts for water]. Selah.


“Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord God,
“When I will send hunger over the land,
Not hunger for bread or a thirst for water,
But rather [a hunger] for hearing the words of the Lord.
