⁸¹ My soul languishes for your salvation;
   I hope in your word.
⁸² My eyes fail with watching for your promise;
   I ask, ‘When will you comfort me?’
⁸³ For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke,
   yet I have not forgotten your statutes.
⁸⁴ How long must your servant endure?
   When will you judge those who persecute me?
⁸⁵ The arrogant have dug pitfalls for me;
   they flout your law.
⁸⁶ All your commandments are enduring;
   I am persecuted without cause; help me!
⁸⁷ They have almost made an end of me on earth;
   but I have not forsaken your precepts.
⁸⁸ In your steadfast love spare my life,
   so that I may keep the decrees of your mouth.
