Psalm 119:81-87 English Standard Version (ESV)

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.
