Since we were forged by the Lover, we should delight in loving and in being loved. It would be inhuman not to delight in love. It would also be inhuman if we didn’t hurt deeply when rejected or sinned against by others. The problem is not that we desire love, the problem is how much we desire it or for what purpose we desire it. Do we desire it so much that it overshadows our desire to be imitators of God? Do we desire it for our own pleasure or for God’s glory?

143:1 ‘n Psalm van Dawid. o HERE, hoor my gebed; luister tog na my smekinge; verhoor my in u trou, in u geregtigheid.

143:2 En gaan nie na die gereg met u kneg nie, want niemand wat leef, is voor u aangesig regverdig nie.

143:3 Want die vyand vervolg my siel; hy vertrap my lewe teen die grond; hy laat my woon in duisternisse soos hulle wat lankal dood is.

143:4 En my gees versmag in my, my hart verstyf in my binneste.

143:5 Ek dink aan die dae uit die voortyd; ek peins oor al u dade; ek dink ná oor die werk van u hande.

143:6 Ek brei my hande tot U uit; my siel dors na U soos ‘n uitgedorde land. Sela.

143:7 Verhoor my tog gou, HERE: my gees beswyk! Verberg u aangesig nie vir my nie, sodat ek nie word soos hulle wat in die kuil neerdaal nie.

143:8 Laat my u goedertierenheid in die môre hoor, want op U vertrou ek; maak my bekend die pad wat ek moet gaan, want ek hef my siel op tot U.

143:9 Red my van my vyande, HERE! By U skuil ek.

143:10 Leer my om u welbehae te doen, want U is my God. Laat u goeie Gees my lei in ‘n gelyk land.

143:11 o HERE, maak my lewend om u Naam ontwil; lei my siel uit die benoudheid, in u geregtigheid.

143:12 En vernietig my vyande in u goedertierenheid, en bring hulle almal om wat my as vyand behandel; want ek is u kneg.
