Psalm 119:131

New King James Version

I opened my mouth and panted, For I longed for Your commandments.

See the chapter Copy

As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God.

My soul breaks with longing For Your judgments at all times.

as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby,

Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:

I am the Lord your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

I long for Your salvation, O Lord, And Your law is my delight.

I rejoice at Your word As one who finds great treasure.

They waited for me as for the rain, And they opened their mouth wide as for the spring rain.

Behold, I long for Your precepts; Revive me in Your righteousness.

Like a servant who earnestly desires the shade, And like a hired man who eagerly looks for his wages,
