Psalm 119:81-88

Christian Standard Bible

⁸¹ I long for your salvation;^(A)
I put my hope in your word.^(B)
82 My eyes grow weary
looking for what you have promised;^(C)
I ask, “When will you comfort me?”
⁸³ Though I have become like a wineskin dried by smoke,
I do not forget your statutes.
⁸⁴ How many days must your servant wait?
When will you execute judgment on my persecutors?^(D)
85 The arrogant have dug pits for me;^(E)
they violate your instruction.
⁸⁶ All your commands are true;
people persecute me with lies—help me!^(F)
87 They almost ended my life on earth,
but I did not abandon your precepts.
⁸⁸ Give me life in accordance with your faithful love,
and I will obey the decree you have spoken.
