78. May the proud be ashamed for falsely accusing me;as for me, I will meditate on your instructions.
79. May those who honour you come to me —all those who know your commands.
80. May I perfectly obey your commandmentsand be spared the shame of defeat.
81. I am worn out, Lord, waiting for you to save me;I place my trust in your word.
82. My eyes are tired from watching for what you promised,while I ask, “When will you help me?”
83. I am as useless as a discarded wineskin;yet I have not forgotten your commands.
84. How much longer must I wait?When will you punish those who persecute me?
