⁸¹ `Kaph.' Consumed for Thy salvation hath been my soul, For Thy word I have hoped.

² My soul desired, yea, it hath also been consumed, For the courts of Jehovah, My heart and my flesh cry aloud unto the living God,

¹⁵ I have known thy works, that neither cold art thou nor hot; I would thou wert cold or hot.

¹⁶ So -- because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to vomit thee out of my mouth;

⁸ I have adjured you, daughters of Jerusalem, If ye find my beloved -- What do ye tell him? that I `am' sick with love!

¹¹⁴ My hiding place and my shield `art' Thou, For Thy word I have hoped.

⁷⁷ Meet me do Thy mercies, and I live, For Thy law `is' my delight.

⁷⁴ Those fearing Thee see me and rejoice, Because for Thy word I have hoped.

⁴² And I answer him who is reproaching me a word, For I have trusted in Thy word.

⁴⁰ Lo, I have longed for Thy precepts, In Thy righteousness quicken Thou me,

²⁰ Broken hath my soul for desire Unto Thy judgments at all times.

²⁶ Consumed hath been my flesh and my heart, The rock of my heart and my portion `is' God to the age.

¹ To the Overseer. -- An Instruction. By sons of Korah. As a hart doth pant for streams of water, So my soul panteth toward Thee, O God.

² My soul thirsted for God, for the living God, When do I enter and see the face of God?
