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 deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God.
We have heard with our ears, O God, Our fathers have told us, The deeds You did in their days, In days of old:
My heart is overflowing with a good theme; I recite my composition concerning the King; My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
Hear this, all peoples; Give ear, all inhabitants of the world,
How lovely is Your tabernacle, O Lord of hosts!
Lord, You have been favorable to Your land; You have brought back the captivity of Jacob.
