Psalms 119:83-91 Good News Bible (GNB)

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?

85. The proud, who do not obey your law,have dug pits to trap me.

86. Your commandments are all trustworthy;people persecute me with lies — help me!

87. They have almost succeeded in killing me,but I have not neglected your commands.

88. Because of your constant love be good to me,so that I may obey your laws.

89. Your word, O Lord, will last for ever;it is eternal in heaven.

90. Your faithfulness endures through all the ages;you have set the earth in place, and it remains.

91. All things remain to this day because of your command,because they are all your servants.
