נִכְסְפָ֬ה וְגַם־כָּלְתָ֨ה ׀ נַפְשִׁי֮ לְחַצְר֪וֹת יְה֫וָ֥ה לִבִּ֥י וּבְשָׂרִ֑י יְ֝רַנְּנ֗וּ אֶ֣ל אֵֽל־חָֽי׃
Nananabik, oo, nanghihina pa sa pananabik ang aking kaluluwa sa mga bulwagan ng Walang-Hanggan; ang aking puso at ang aking laman ay umaawit sa galak sa Diyos na buháy.
Duties of the Heart
One can also explain the intent of "And you shall love the L-ord your G-d with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might" (Devarim 6:5) to be referring to cleaving to the love of G-d inwardly, and to exhibit it outwardly, until the genuineness of the believer's love will be recognizable inwardly and outwardly, privately and publicly, in a way that it will be manifested uniformly and in the proper way, in the same amount and in the same level, as David said: "my heart and my flesh cry out for the living G-d" (Tehilim 84:3).
Duties of the Heart
Then, when the believer engages in them with his heart and mind, and exerts himself to the best of his ability, G-d will open for him the gates of spiritual qualities, and he will attain with them what is beyond his ability, and he will serve G-d with his body and soul, with his outer and inner being, as David said: "my heart and my flesh cry out for the living G-d" (Tehilim 84:3).
Duties of the Heart
One of the pious would say: "do not praise empty praises, meaning, empty of having your heart in it, rather, it should be with your heart in it, as David said: "With my whole heart have I sought You" (Tehilim 119:10), and "I entreated You with all my heart" (Tehilim 119:58), and "my heart and my flesh cry out for the living G-d" (Tehilim 84:3).
