77. Let your compassion come to me so I can live again,because your Instruction is my joy!
78. But let the arrogant be ashamedbecause they oppressed me with lies—meanwhile, I will be contemplating your precepts!
79. Let the people who honor you come back to me;let those who know your precepts return to me.
80. Let my heart be blameless in your statutesso that I am not put to shame.
81. My whole being yearns for your saving help!I wait for your promise.
82. My eyes are worn out looking for your word."When will you comfort me?" I ask,
83. because I’ve become like a bottle dried up by smoke,though I haven’t forgotten your statutes.
