Psalm 119:131

I opened my mouth wide and panted,
For I longed for Your commandments.

For the choir director. A Maskil of the sons of Korah.
As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So my soul pants for You, O God.

My soul is crushed with longing
After Your ordinances at all times.

“They waited for me as for the rain,
And opened their mouth as for the spring rain.

“I, the Lord, am your God,
Who brought you up from the land of Egypt;
Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.

Behold, I long for Your precepts;
Revive me through Your righteousness.

I rejoice at Your word,
As one who finds great spoil.

I long for Your salvation, O Lord,
And Your law is my delight.

Indeed, while following the way of Your judgments, O Lord,
We have waited for You eagerly;
Your name, even Your memory, is the desire of our souls.

Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord.

like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation,

I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.

My soul is crushed

with longing

After Your ordinances at all times.

For the choir director. A Maskil of the sons of Korah.
As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So my soul

pants for You, O God.

Indeed, while following the way of Your judgments, O Lord,
We have waited for You eagerly;

Your name, even Your memory, is the desire of our souls.

like newborn babies, long for the

pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation,

Behold, I long for Your precepts;
Revive me through Your righteousness.

Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord.

Oh that my ways may be established
To keep Your statutes!
