76Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word to thy servant.
77Let thy tender mercies come to me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.
78Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.
79Let those that fear thee turn to me, and those that have known thy testimonies.
80Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I may not be ashamed.
81CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.
82My eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
83For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet I do not forget thy statutes.
