¹³¹ My mouth was open wide, waiting with great desire for your teachings.

¹ <To the chief music-maker. Maschil. Of the sons of Korah.> Like the desire of the roe for the water-streams, so is my soul's desire for you, O God.

²⁰ My soul is broken with desire for your decisions at all times.

² Be full of desire for the true milk of the word, as babies at their mothers' breasts, so that you may go on to salvation;

¹⁴ Let your desire be for peace with all men, and to be made holy, without which no man may see the Lord;

⁸ We have been waiting for you, O Lord; the desire of our soul is for the memory of your name.

⁹ In the night the desire of my soul has been for you; early will my spirit be searching for you; for when your punishments come on the earth, the people of the world will get the knowledge of righteousness.

¹⁷⁴ All my desire has been for your salvation, O Lord; and your law is my delight.

¹⁶² I am delighted by your saying, like a man who makes discovery of great wealth.

⁴⁰ See how great is my desire for your orders: give me life in your righteousness.

¹⁰ I am the Lord your God, who took you up from the land of Egypt: let your mouth be open wide, so that I may give you food.

²³ They were waiting for me as for the rain, opening their mouths wide as for the spring rains.
