Kaph

81 My (A)soul languishes for Your salvation;
I [a](B)wait for Your word.
82 My (C)eyes fail with longing for Your [b]word,
[c]While I say, “When will You comfort me?”
83 Though I have (D)become like a wineskin in the smoke,
I do (E)not forget Your statutes.
84 How many are the (F)days of Your servant?
When will You (G)execute judgment on those who persecute me?
85 The arrogant have (H)dug pits for me,
People who are not in accord with Your Law.
86 All Your commandments are (I)faithful;
They have (J)persecuted me with a lie; (K)help me!
87 They almost destroyed me on earth,
But as for me, I (L)did not abandon Your precepts.
88 Revive me according to Your faithfulness,
So that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth.

Lamedh

89 (M)Forever, Lord,
Your word stands in heaven.
90 Your (N)faithfulness continues [d]throughout generations;
You (O)established the earth, and it (P)stands.
91 They stand this day by Your (Q)ordinances,
For (R)all things are Your servants.
92 If Your Law had not been my (S)delight,
Then I would have perished (T)in my misery.
93 I will (U)never forget Your precepts,
For by them You have [e](V)revived me.
94 I am Yours, (W)save me;
For I have (X)sought Your precepts.
95 The wicked (Y)wait for me to destroy me;
I will diligently consider Your testimonies.
96 I have seen [f]a limit to all perfection;
Your commandment is exceedingly broad.
