Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass, or the ox low over his fodder?
How the beasts groan! The herds of cattle are perplexed because there is no pasture for them; even the flocks of sheep suffer. To you, O Lord, I call. For fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and flame has burned all the trees of the field. Even the beasts of the field pant for you because the water brooks are dried up, and fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights; they pant for air like jackals; their eyes fail because there is no vegetation.
You cause the grass to grow for the livestock and plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food from the earth
To the choirmaster. A Maskil of the Sons of Korah. As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God.
