Psalm 119:131

The Scriptures 1998

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

See the chapter Copy

As a deer longs for the water streams, So my being longs for You, O Elohim.

My being is crushed with longing For Your right-rulings at all times.

as newborn babes, desire the unadulterated milk of the Word, in order that you grow by it,

Pursue peace with all, and pursue apartness without which no one shall see the Master.

“I am יהוה your Elohim, Who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim; Open your mouth wide, and I fill it.

I have longed for Your deliverance, O יהוה, And Your Torah is my delight.

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

And they waited for me like the rain, and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.

See, I have longed for Your orders; Revive me in Your righteousness.

Like a servant who sighs for the shade, and like a hireling longing for his wages,
