- O Lord, all my longing is known to you,
and my sighs are not hidden from you. - Even though the fig tree does not blossom
and there is no fruit on the vines,

and exult in the God of my salvation. - If you refrain from traveling on the Sabbath
and from engaging in your own interests on my holy day,
if you call the Sabbath a day of joy
and regard the Lord’s holy day as honorable,

or attending to your own affairs;
then you will find true happiness in the Lord,
and I will enable you to ride
upon the heights of the earth.

and I made no attempt to conceal my guilt.

my body wasted away
as the result of my groaning throughout the day. - But as for me, I will look to the Lord.

my God will hear me. - By this is my Father glorified,
that you bear much fruit
and become my disciples. - For my thoughts are not your thoughts,

for the sake of your name, lead and guide me. - The Lord is my portion, I say to myself;
therefore, I will place my hope in him. - Why are you so disheartened, O my soul?
Why do you sigh within me?
Place your hope in God;
for I will once again praise him,
my Savior and my God. - But you, O Lord, are a shield to protect me;

you will keep my commandments. - I stretch out my hands to you;
my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah - Listen, my son, and take my words to heart,
and the years of your life will be multiplied. - Surely God is my helper;
the Lord is the one who sustains me. - I lift up my eyes to the mountains;
from where will I receive help?

the Maker of heaven and earth. - Bless the Lord, O my soul;
my entire being, bless his holy name. - Jesus then said to her, “Do not hold on to me, because I have not yet ascended to my Father. But go to my brethren and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ ”

on a colt, the foal of a donkey. - You who abide in the shelter of the Most High,
who rest in the shadow of the Almighty,
say to the Lord, “You are my refuge and my fortress,
my God in whom I place my trust.”
