⁵ Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass,
    or the ox low over his fodder?

¹⁸ How ^(A)the beasts groan!
    The herds of cattle are perplexed
because there is no pasture for them;
    even the flocks of sheep suffer.^[a]

^6 (A)The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights;
    they pant for air like jackals;
their eyes fail
    because there is no vegetation.

42 ^(B)As a deer pants for flowing streams,
    so pants my soul for you, O God.
