Psalm 119:81-88 (Listen)

81 My soul alongs for your salvation;

I bhope in your word.

82 My ceyes long for your promise;

I ask, d“When will you comfort me?”

83 For I have ebecome like a fwineskin in the smoke,

yet I have not forgotten your statutes.

84 gHow long must your servant endure?1

hWhen will you judge those who persecute me?

85 iThe insolent have jdug pitfalls for me;

they do not live according to your law.

86 All your commandments are ksure;

they persecute me lwith falsehood; mhelp me!

87 They have almost made an end of me on earth,

but I have not forsaken your precepts.

88 In your steadfast love ngive me life,

that I may keep the testimonies of your mouth.
