81 My soul is pining for your salvation; ♦︎
I have hoped in your word.
82 My eyes fail with watching for your word, ♦︎
while I say, O when will you comfort me?
83 I have become like a wineskin in the smoke, ♦︎
yet I do not forget your statutes.
84 How many are the days of your servant? ♦︎
When will you bring judgement on those who persecute me?
85 The proud have dug pits for me ♦︎
in defiance of your law.
86 All your commandments are true; ♦︎
help me, for they persecute me with falsehood.
87 They had almost made an end of me on earth, ♦︎
but I have not forsaken your commandments.
88 Give me life according to your loving-kindness; ♦︎
so shall I keep the testimonies of your mouth.
