⁶³ I am a companion of all them that fear thee, And of them that observe thy precepts.

¹¹⁵ Depart from me, ye evil-doers, That I may keep the commandments of my God.

⁷ Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, Where thou feedest `thy flock', Where thou makest `it' to rest at noon: For why should I be as one that is veiled Beside the flocks of thy companions?

⁸ If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, Go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, And feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents.
