As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God.

A deer longs for streams of water. God, I long for you in the same way.

As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God.

As a deer longs for flowing streams, so I long for you, God.

As the deer pants for the water brooks, So my soul pants for You, God.

As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God.

As the hart panteth after the water brooks, So panteth my soul after thee, O God.

As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

As a deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God!

As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants after you, God.

O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water.I have seen you in your sanctuary and gazed upon your power and glory.

I pant with expectation, longing for your commands.

I lift my hands to you in prayer. I thirst for you as parched land thirsts for rain. InterludeCome quickly, Lord, and answer me, for my depression deepens. Don’t turn away from me, or I will die.

How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of Heaven’s Armies.I long, yes, I faint with longing to enter the courts of the Lord. With my whole being, body and soul, I will shout joyfully to the living God.

Lord, we show our trust in you by obeying your laws; our heart’s desire is to glorify your name.In the night I search for you; in the morning I earnestly seek you. For only when you come to judge the earth will people learn what is right.

How great is the Lord, how deserving of praise, in the city of our God, which sits on his holy mountain!

God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.

Lord, you poured out blessings on your land! You restored the fortunes of Israel.

Come, everyone! Clap your hands! Shout to God with joyful praise!

Beautiful words stir my heart. I will recite a lovely poem about the king, for my tongue is like the pen of a skillful poet.

O God, we have heard it with our own ears— our ancestors have told us of all you did in their day, in days long ago:

The earth opened its mouth and swallowed the men, along with their households and all their followers who were standing with them, and everything they owned.

Listen to this, all you people! Pay attention, everyone in the world!

David and the army commanders then appointed men from the families of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun to proclaim God’s messages to the accompaniment of lyres, harps, and cymbals. Here is a list of their names and their work:From the sons of Asaph, there were Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asarelah. They worked under the direction of their father, Asaph, who proclaimed God’s messages by the king’s orders.From the sons of Jeduthun, there were Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six in all. They worked under the direction of their father, Jeduthun, who proclaimed God’s messages to the accompaniment of the lyre, offering thanks and praise to the Lord.From the sons of Heman, there were Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shubael, Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, Romamti ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth.All these were the sons of Heman, the king’s seer, for God had honored him with fourteen sons and three daughters.

These are the men who served, along with their sons: Heman the musician was from the clan of Kohath. His genealogy was traced back through Joel, Samuel,Elkanah, Jeroham, Eliel, Toah,Zuph, Elkanah, Mahath, Amasai,Elkanah, Joel, Azariah, Zephaniah,Tahath, Assir, Abiasaph, Korah,

One day Korah son of Izhar, a descendant of Kohath son of Levi, conspired with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth, from the tribe of Reuben.

However, the sons of Korah did not die that day.
