As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God.
I open my mouth and pant, because I long for your commandments.
Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised in the city of our God! His holy mountain,
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Lord, you were favorable to your land; you restored the fortunes of Jacob.
My heart overflows with a pleasing theme; I address my verses to the king; my tongue is like the pen of a ready scribe.
Clap your hands, all peoples! Shout to God with loud songs of joy!
O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us, what deeds you performed in their days, in the days of old:
Hear this, all peoples! Give ear, all inhabitants of the world,
And the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households and all the people who belonged to Korah and all their goods.
Now Korah the son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, and On the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men.
But the sons of Korah did not die.
The sons of Korah: Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph; these are the clans of the Korahites.
The sons of Kohath: Amminadab his son, Korah his son, Assir his son,
On the holy mount stands the city he founded;
O Lord, God of my salvation, I cry out day and night before you.
