Psalms 119:82-92

⁸²My eyes are full of weariness with searching for your word, saying, When will you give me comfort?

⁸³For I have become like a wine-skin black with smoke; but I still keep the memory of your rules.

⁸⁴How short is the life of your servant! when will you give your decision against those who are attacking me?

⁸⁵The men of pride, who are turned away from your law, have put nets for me.

⁸⁶All your teachings are certain; they go after me with evil design; give me your help.

⁸⁷They had almost put an end to me on earth; but I did not give up your orders.

⁸⁸Give me life in your mercy; so that I may be ruled by the unchanging word of your mouth.

⁸⁹LAMED For ever, O Lord, your word is fixed in heaven.

⁹⁰Your faith is unchanging from generation to generation: you have put the earth in its place, and it is not moved.

⁹¹They are ruled this day by your decisions; for all things are your servants.

⁹²If your law had not been my delight, my troubles would have put an end to me.
