My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God. My soul longeth - It is a Levite that speaks, who ardently longs to regain his place in the temple, and his part in the sacred services.
My heart and my flesh - All the desires of my soul and body; every appetite and wish, both animal and spiritual, long for thy service.
