'Longs' in the Bible

Like a slave he longs for [the] shadow, and like a laborer he waits for his wages.

{He is like} a lion; he longs to tear apart, and like a strong lion crouching in hiding places.

As a deer longs for streams of water, so my soul longs for you, O God.

O God, you [are] my God; I will seek you diligently. My soul thirsts for you; my flesh longs for you [as] in a dry and weary land without water.

My soul longs and even fails for the courtyards of Yahweh. My heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God.

I stretch out my hands to you; my soul [longs] for you like a dry land. Selah
