Psalms 42:1
As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

Study Note
'As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God' — the opening simile of the Korah psalm captures acute spiritual thirst through the image of a deer driven to the wadi by physical necessity. The context is exile from Jerusalem and the temple — verses 4 and 6 locate the writer in the region of Hermon and the Jordan — making the longing both spatial (for the sanctuary) and relational (for God's presence). Augustine's Confessions opens with 'our heart is restless, until it repose in Thee,' drawing on this verse's theology of divinely implanted desire; it has since become one of Christianity's most cited texts for the phenomenology of the soul's longing for God.
