80. May my heart be blameless in your statutes, that I may not be put to shame!
81. My soul longs for your salvation;I hope in your word.
82. My eyes long for your promise;I ask, “When will you comfort me?”
83. For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke,yet I have not forgotten your statutes.
84. How long must your servant endure? When will you judge those who persecute me?
85. The insolent have dug pitfalls for me;they do not live according to your law.
86. All your commandments are sure;they persecute me with falsehood; 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 give me life,that I may keep the testimonies of your mouth.
89. Forever, O Lord, your wordis firmly fixed in the heavens.
90. Your faithfulness endures to all generations;you have established the earth, and it stands fast.
91. By your appointment they stand this day,for all things are your servants.
