My flesh shrinks for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.

I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.

I am small and despised; yet I do not forget thy commandments.

I am for peace; but when I speak they fight with me.

If I should count the best of them, they are more in number than the grains of sand; when I awake I am still with thee.

I hate them, O LORD, who hate thee; and I am grieved with those who rise up against thee.

Attend to my cry; for I am brought very low; deliver me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than I.

And by thy mercy silence those who hate me, and destroy all the enemies of my soul; for I am thy servant.

Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sins?

Surely, I am weak minded, and have not the understanding of men.

When there is but one man, and not a second, and he has neither son nor brother, there is no end to all his labor. Neither are his eves satisfied with riches; neither does he say, For whom am I laboring and denying myself good things? This is also vanity, and a grievous vexation.

I have dark skin, but I am comely, O daughters of Jerusalem, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.

I AM like the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valley.

Sustain me with delicacies, surround me with apples; for I am sick for love.

My beloved is mine, and I am his; he feeds among the lilies.

I AM come into my garden, my sister, my bride; I have gathered my myrrh with my spices, I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey, I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O my friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O my beloved.

I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you should find my beloved, tell him that I am sick for love.

I am my beloveds, and my beloved is mine; he feeds among the lilies.

I am my beloveds, and his desire is toward me.

I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers; then I was in his eyes as one who has found favor.
