Psalm 119:131

Modern King James Version

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

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 earnestly desires the shadow, and as a hireling looks for his wages,

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

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

My soul breaks for the longing that it has to Your judgments at all times.

Behold, I have longed after Your Commandments; in Your righteousness give me life.

To the Chief Musician. A contemplation; for the sons of Korah. As the hart pants after the water brooks, so my soul pants after You, O God.

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

Follow peace with all, and holiness, without which no one shall see the Lord;

desire the sincere milk of the Word, as newborn babes, so that you may grow by it;
