Psalm 119:81-89

New American Standard Bible

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.

^89 (M)Forever, Lord,
Your word stands in heaven.
