¹³¹ My mouth I have opened, yea, I pant, For, for Thy commands I have longed.

¹ To the Overseer. -- An Instruction. By sons of Korah. As a hart doth pant for streams of water, So my soul panteth toward Thee, O God.

²⁰ Broken hath my soul for desire Unto Thy judgments at all times.

² as new-born babes the word's pure milk desire ye, that in it ye may grow,

¹⁴ peace pursue with all, and the separation, apart from which no one shall see the Lord,

⁸ Also, `in' the path of Thy judgments, O Jehovah, we have waited `for' Thee, To Thy name and to Thy remembrance `Is' the desire of the soul.

⁹ `With' my soul I desired Thee in the night, Also, `with' my spirit within me I seek Thee earnestly, For when Thy judgments `are' on the earth, The inhabitants of the world have learned righteousness.

¹⁷⁴ I have longed for Thy salvation, O Jehovah, And Thy law `is' my delight.

¹⁶² I do rejoice concerning Thy saying, As one finding abundant spoil.

⁴⁰ Lo, I have longed for Thy precepts, In Thy righteousness quicken Thou me,

¹⁰ I `am' Jehovah thy God, Who bringeth thee up out of the land of Egypt. Enlarge thy mouth, and I fill it.

²³ And they wait as `for' rain for me, And their mouth they have opened wide `As' for the latter rain.
