Psalm 119:81-88
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
81 My soul languishes for your salvation;
I hope in your word.(A)
82 My eyes fail with watching for your promise;
I ask, “When will you comfort me?”(B)
83 For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke,
yet I have not forgotten your statutes.(C)
84 How long must your servant endure?
When will you judge those who persecute me?(D)
85 The arrogant have dug pitfalls for me;
they flout your law.(E)
86 All your commandments are enduring;
I am persecuted without cause; help me!(F)
87 They have almost made an end of me on earth,
but I have not forsaken your precepts.
88 In your steadfast love spare my life,
so that I may keep the decrees of your mouth.
