Psalm 119:131

I opened my mouth wide and panted; for I longed for thy commandments.

{To the chief Musician. An instruction; of the sons of Korah.} As the hart panteth after the water-brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

My soul breaketh for longing after thy judgments at all times.

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

I am Jehovah thy God, that brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

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

I have joy in thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.

I have longed for thy salvation, O Jehovah, and thy law is my delight.

Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Jehovah, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to thy memorial.

Pursue peace with all, and holiness, without which no one shall see the Lord:

as newborn babes desire earnestly the pure mental milk of the word, that by it ye may grow up to salvation,
