Psalms 119:81-91 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

81. I long for Your salvation; I put my hope in Your word.

82. My eyes grow wearylooking for what You have promised; I ask, “When will You comfort me? ”

83. Though I have become like a wineskin dried by smoke,I do not forget Your statutes.

84. How many days must Your servant wait?When will You execute judgment on my persecutors?

85. The arrogant have dug pits for me; they violate Your instruction.

86. All Your commands are true;people persecute me with lies — help me!

87. They almost ended my life on earth,but I did not abandon Your precepts.

88. Give me life in accordance with Your faithful love,and I will obey the decree You have spoken.

89. Lord, Your word is forever; it is firmly fixed in heaven.

90. Your faithfulness is for all generations; You established the earth, and it stands firm.

91. They stand today in accordance with Your judgments, for all things are Your servants.
