75I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are righteous, and that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me.
76Let, I pray thee, thy lovingkindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
77Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.
78Let the proud be ashamed; for they have overthrown me wrongfully: but I will meditate in thy precepts.
79Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and they shall know thy testimonies.
80Let my heart be perfect in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.
81My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.
82Mine eyes fail for thy word, while I say, When wilt thou comfort me?
83For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.
84How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
85The proud have digged pits for me, who are not after thy law.
86All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.
87They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.
