¹³¹ I opened wide my mouth, and panted; For I longed for thy commandments.

¹ As the hart panteth after the water brooks, So panteth my soul after thee, O God.

²⁰ My soul breaketh for the longing That it hath unto thine ordinances at all times.

² as newborn babes, long for the spiritual milk which is without guile, that ye may grow thereby unto salvation;

¹⁴ Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord:

⁸ Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Jehovah, have we waited for thee; to thy name, even to thy memorial `name', is the desire of our soul.

⁹ With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee earnestly: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

¹⁷⁴ I have longed for thy salvation, O Jehovah; And thy law is my delight.

¹⁶² I rejoice at thy word, As one that findeth great spoil.

⁴⁰ Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: Quicken me in thy righteousness.

¹⁰ I am Jehovah thy God, Who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

²³ And they waited for me as for the rain; And they opened their mouth wide `as' for the latter rain.
