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.
89 O Lord, your word is everlasting; ♦︎
it ever stands firm in the heavens.
90 Your faithfulness also remains from one generation to another; ♦︎
you have established the earth and it abides.
91 So also your judgements stand firm this day, ♦︎
for all things are your servants.
92 If your law had not been my delight, ♦︎
I should have perished in my trouble.
93 I will never forget your commandments, ♦︎
for by them you have given me life.
94 I am yours, O save me! ♦︎
For I have sought your commandments.
95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me, ♦︎
but I will meditate on your testimonies.
96 I have seen an end of all perfection, ♦︎
but your commandment knows no bounds.
97 Lord, how I love your law! ♦︎
All the day long it is my study.
98 Your commandments have made me wiser than my enemies, ♦︎
for they are ever with me.
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers, ♦︎
for your testimonies are my meditation.
100 I am wiser than the aged, ♦︎
because I keep your commandments.
101 I restrain my feet from every evil way, ♦︎
that I may keep your word.
102 I have not turned aside from your judgements, ♦︎
for you have been my teacher.
103 How sweet are your words on my tongue! ♦︎
They are sweeter than honey to my mouth.
104 Through your commandments I get understanding; ♦︎
therefore I hate all lying ways.
