81 I long for your salvation;j

I put my hope in your word.k

82 My eyes grow weary

looking for what you have promised;l

I ask, “When will you comfort me?”

83 Though I have become like a wineskin dried by smoke,

I do not forget your statutes.

84 How many days must your servant wait?

When will you execute judgment on my persecutors?m

85 The arrogant have dug pits for me;n

they violate your instruction.

86 All your commands are true;

people persecute me with lies—help me!o

87 They almost ended my life on earth,

but I did not abandon your precepts.

88 Give me life in accordance with your faithful love,

and I will obey the decree you have spoken.
