Psalms 42:1. As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
It is said that when they cannot find water, they sometimes let loose a hart, which, flying over the desert sand, by instinct seems to scent out the water-brook. If he cannot find it, however, the stag is subject to a burning thirst. He stands and pants. His sides heave while he thirsts. So says David, "As the hart panteth (or "brayeth") "after the water-brooks."
