80May my heart be blameless with respect to your statutes so that I may not be put to shame.
81I faint with longing that you might rescue me! I hope in your word.
82My eyes long to see your promise; when will you comfort me?
83For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke; I do not forget your statutes.
84How long must your servant endure this; when will you judge those who persecute me?
85The proud have dug pits for me, defying your law.
86All your commandments are reliable; those people persecute me wrongfully; help me.
87They have almost made an end to me on earth, but I do not reject your instructions.
88By your steadfast love, keep me alive, so that I may obey your commands.
89Yahweh, your word stands forever; your word is established firmly in heaven.
