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.
87But little was wanting that they had consumed me upon earth; but I have truly not forsaken thy precepts.
88According to thy kindness give me life, that I may observe the testimony of thy mouth.
89LAMED. To eternity, O Lord, standeth firm thy word with the heavens.
90Unto all generations endureth thy faithfulness: thou hast established the earth, and she standeth.
91According to thy ordinances they exist this day: for all are thy servants.
92Unless thy law had been my delights, I should long since have been lost in my affliction.
93Never will I forget thy precepts; for with them thou hast kept me alive.
94Thine am I, save me; for thy precepts have I sought.
95Wicked men have waited for me to destroy me; but I will reflect on thy testimonies.
96Of all perfection have I seen the end; but thy commandment is exceedingly extended.
97MEM. Oh how do I love thy law! all the day is it my meditation.
98Wiser than my enemy doth thy commandment make me; for it is perpetually with me.
