My soul longs for Your salvation,
Because I have hope in Your Word;
Knowing of a new foundation,
The goodness of what I have heard.
For my eyes long for Your promise,
I ask when will You comfort me?
With being fair in Your justice,
Your wisdom has helped me to see.
I have become like a wineskin,
But not forgetting Your statutes;
Avoiding temptation of sin,
Because my faith causes deep roots.
How long must Your servant endure?
Will you judge those who persecute?
Because I long to remain pure,
And deliver the choice first fruit.
The proud have dug pitfalls for me,
They do not live as per Your Law;
Following on what You decree,
That helps me to avoid a flaw.
All of Your commandments are sure,
They persecute me with falsehood;
Help me please in remaining pure,
Do as You want it understood.
They have made an end on the earth,
But will not forsake Your precepts;
Because You have given new birth,
As I honor all Your concepts.
In Your steadfast love gives me life,
That I may keep testifying;
Enduring in the midst of strife,
Testimonies are glorifying.
