81 My soul languishes for your salvation;

I hope in your word.

82 My eyes long forw your word,x

saying, “When will you comfort me?”

83 For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke,

yet I have not forgotten your statutes.

84 How many are the days of your servant?

When will you execute justice against those who persecute me?

85 The arrogant have dug pitsy for me,

which is not according toz your law.

86 All your commands are faithful.

They persecute me deceitfully; help me!

87 They have almost destroyed me on the earth,

but I have not forsaken your precepts.

88 According to your loyal love preserve me alive,

so that I may heed the testimony from your mouth.
