⁸¹ KAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation; `But' I hope in thy word.

² My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah; My heart and my flesh cry out unto the living God.

¹⁵ I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

¹⁶ So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth.

⁸ I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, If ye find my beloved, That ye tell him, that I am sick from love.

¹¹⁴ Thou art my hiding-place and my shield: I hope in thy word.

⁷⁷ Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live; For thy law is my delight.

⁷⁴ They that fear thee shall see me and be glad, Because I have hoped in thy word.

⁴² So shall I have an answer for him that reproacheth me; For I trust in thy word.

⁴⁰ Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: Quicken me in thy righteousness.

²⁰ My soul breaketh for the longing That it hath unto thine ordinances at all times.

²⁶ My flesh and my heart faileth; `But' God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever.

¹ As the hart panteth after the water brooks, So panteth my soul after thee, O God.

² My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: When shall I come and appear before God?
