The son of Tahath, the son of Assir, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah,
The son of Elkanah, the son of Joel, the son of Azariah, the son of Zephaniah,
The son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, the son of Israel.
As the hart pants after the water brooks, so pants my soul after you, O God.
We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work you did in their days, in the times of old.
My heart is gushing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
Hear this, all you people; give ear, all you inhabitants of the world:
How amiable are your tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
Lord, you have been favorable to your land: you have brought back the captivity of Jacob.
