Psalms 119:76-86

⁷⁶Let, I pray thee, thy kindness come to comfort me, according to thy promise unto thy servant.

⁷⁷Let thy mercies come unto me, that I may live; for thy law is my delight.

⁷⁸Let the presumptuous be made ashamed; because they have without a cause dealt perversely with me; but I will indeed meditate on thy precepts.

⁷⁹Let those that fear thee return unto me, and those that know thy testimonies.

⁸⁰Let my heart be entire in thy statutes, in order that I may not be put to shame.

⁸¹CAPH. My soul ardently desireth for thy salvation: for thy word do I wait.

⁸²My eyes look eagerly for thy promise, saying, 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 justice on my persecutors?

⁸⁵The presumptuous have dug pits for me, which is not in accordance with thy law.

⁸⁶All thy commandments are founded on truth: without cause they persecute me; help thou me.
