[To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah.] As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. {Maschil...: or, A Psalm giving instruction of the sons, etc} {panteth: Heb. brayeth}

My soul breaketh for the longing {that it hath} unto thy judgments at all times.

As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

I {am} the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

Follow peace with all {men}, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of {our} soul {is} to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.

I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.

I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law {is} my delight.

And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide {as} for the latter rain.

Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.

[To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah.] As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. {Maschil...: or, A Psalm giving instruction of the sons, etc} {panteth: Heb. brayeth}

O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!

My soul breaketh for the longing {that it hath} unto thy judgments at all times.

I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.

Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments {are} good.

O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? {the body...: or, this body of death}

As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for {the reward of} his work: {earnestly...: Heb. gapeth after}
