# my spirit within me seeks you earnestly
Wanting to know Yahweh and his laws better is spoken of as if the person were seeking to find Yahweh. Alternate translation: "I earnestly want to know you better" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
Here "spirit" represents the speaker as a whole. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche]])
