Psalm 119:81-88

English Standard Version

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.
