Psalms [Praises] 119:77-85

⁷⁷Let your tender racham ·merciful love· come to me, that I may live; for your Torah ·Teaching· is my delight.

⁷⁸Let the proud be disappointed, for they have overthrown me wrongfully. I will meditate on your precepts.

⁷⁹Let those who fear you turn to me. They will know your testimonies.

⁸⁰Let my heart be blameless toward your statutes, that I may not be disappointed. KAF

⁸¹My soul faints for your salvation. I hope in your word.

⁸²My eyes fail for your word. I say, “When will you comfort me?”

⁸³For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke. I don’t forget your statutes.

⁸⁴How many are the days of your servant? When will you execute judgement on those who persecute me?

⁸⁵The proud have dug pits for me, contrary to your Torah ·Teaching·.
