son of Tahath, son of Assir, son of Ebiasaph, son of Korah,
son of Elkanah, son of Joel, son of Azariah, son of Zephaniah,
son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi, son of Israel;
As a deer longs for flowing streams, so my soul longs for you, O God.
We have heard with our ears, O God; our ancestors have told us what deeds you performed in their days, in the days of old:
My heart overflows with a goodly theme; I address my verses to the king; my tongue is like the pen of a ready scribe.
Hear this, all you peoples; give ear, all inhabitants of the world,
How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts!
Lord, you were favorable to your land; you restored the fortunes of Jacob.
