Kaph

81 My soul (A)longs for your salvation;
    I (B)hope in your word.
82 My (C)eyes long for your promise;
    I ask, (D)“When will you comfort me?”
83 For I have (E)become like a (F)wineskin in the smoke,
    yet I have not forgotten your statutes.
84 (G)How long must your servant endure?[a]
    (H)When will you judge those who persecute me?
85 (I)The insolent have (J)dug pitfalls for me;
    they do not live according to your law.
86 All your commandments are (K)sure;
    they persecute me (L)with falsehood; (M)help me!
87 They have almost made an end of me on earth,
    but I have not forsaken your precepts.
88 In your steadfast love (N)give me life,
    that I may keep the testimonies of your mouth.

Lamedh

89 Forever, O Lord, your (O)word
    is firmly fixed in the heavens.
90 Your (P)faithfulness endures to all generations;
    you have (Q)established the earth, and it (R)stands fast.
91 By your (S)appointment they stand this day,
    for all things are your servants.
92 If your law had not been my (T)delight,
    I would have perished in my affliction.
93 I will never forget your precepts,
    for by them you have (U)given me life.
94 I am yours; save me,
    (V)for I have sought your precepts.
95 The wicked lie in wait to destroy me,
    but I consider your testimonies.
96 I have seen a limit to all perfection,
    but your commandment is exceedingly (W)broad.
