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 hart longs for flowing streams, so longs my soul for thee, O God.
We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what deeds thou didst perform 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 peoples! Give ear, all inhabitants of the world,
How lovely is thy dwelling place, O Lord of hosts!
Lord, thou wast favorable to thy land; thou didst restore the fortunes of Jacob.
