Psalm 119:131

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

My mouth I have wide opened, and panted earnestly, While after thy commandements I long'd exceedingly.

See the chapter Copy

Like as the hart for water-brooks in thirst doth pant and bray; So pants my longing soul, O God, that come to thee I may.

My soul within me breaks, and doth much fainting still endure, Through longing that it hath all times unto thy judgments pure.

I am the Lord thy God, which did from Egypt land thee guide; I'll fill thy mouth abundantly, do thou it open wide.

I long'd for thy salvation, Lord, and in thy law rejoice.

I at thy word rejoice, as one of spoil that finds great store.

Lo, for thy precepts I have long'd; in thy truth quicken me.
