{To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah.} As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times.

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

And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.

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. 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.

I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

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

I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight.

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

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