¹³¹ I opened 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 thy judgments at all times.

² As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

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

⁸ Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.

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

¹⁷⁴ I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; 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 the LORD thy God, which brought thee 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.
