Psalm 119:81–96

CAPH.

81  xMy soul fainteth for thy salvation:

But I yhope in thy word.

82  zMine eyes fail for thy word,

aSaying, bWhen wilt thou comfort me?

83  For I cam become like a dbottle in the smoke;

Yet edo I not forget thy statutes.

84  fHow many are the days of thy servant?

gWhen wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?

85  The hproud have idigged pits for me,

Which are not after thy law.

86  All thy commandments are †faithful:

They persecute me jwrongfully; khelp thou me.

87  They had almost consumed me upon earth;

But I forsook not thy precepts.

88  lQuicken me after thy lovingkindness;

So shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.

LAMED.

89  For ever, O Lord,

mThy word is settled in heaven.

90  Thy nfaithfulness is †unto all generations:

Thou hast established the earth, and it †abideth.

91  They continue this day according to thine oordinances:

For all are thy servants.

92  Unless thy law had been pmy delights,

I should then have perished in mine affliction.

93  qI will never forget thy precepts:

For with them thou hast lquickened me.

94  I am thine, save me;

For I have sought thy precepts.

95  The wicked have waited for me to destroy me:

But I will consider thy testimonies.

96  rI have seen an end of all perfection:

But thy commandment is exceeding sbroad.
