If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god,

my eye has become faint because of affliction. Jehovah, I have called daily upon You; I have stretched out my hands unto You.

If you have prepared your heart, and spread out your hands toward Him;

i1 [To the chief Musician. Maschil. For the sons of Korah.] i0 par As the deer pants after the water brooks, so my soul pants after You, O God.

My soul thirsts for God, for the living Mighty God; when shall I come and appear before God?

i1 [A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.] i0 par O God, You are my Mighty God. I will seek You earnestly; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You, as in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.

My soul longs, yea, is spent for the courts of Jehovah; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living Mighty God.

Yea, in the way of Your judgments, O Jehovah, we have waited for You; for the desire of our soul is Your name and the remembrance of You.

With my soul I have desired You in the night; yea, with my spirit within me I will seek You early; for when Your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land shall become springs of water, in the habitation of dragons where they dwell, a place for grass with reeds and rushes.

On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.
