Psalm 119:131

King James 3 - The Literal Traslation

I opened my mouth and panted; for I longed for Your commands.

See the chapter Copy

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

As a servant pants for the shade, and as a hireling looks for his wages,

I rejoice at Your Word, as one who finds great plunder.

I have longed for Your salvation, O Jehovah; and Your Law is my delight.

My soul is crushed for the longing to Your judgments in every season.

Behold, I have longed for Your precepts; grant to me life in Your righteousness.

To the chief musician. A Contemplation for the sons of Korah. As the deer pants after the channels of water, so my soul pants after You, O God.

I am Jehovah your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt; open your mouth wide and I will fill it.

Eagerly pursue peace and holiness with all, without which no one will see the Lord,

as newborn babes desire the pure soulnourishing milk, that you may grow by it;
