75. That very right thy judgments areI know, and do confess;And that thou hast afflicted mein truth and faithfulness.
76. O let thy kindness merciful,I pray thee, comfort me,As to thy servant faithfullywas promised by thee.
77. And let thy tender mercies cometo me, that I may live;Because thy holy laws to mesweet delectation give.
78. Lord, let the proud ashamed be;for they, without a cause,With me perversely dealt: but Iwill muse upon thy laws.
79. Let such as fear thee, and have knownthy statutes, turn to me.
80. My heart let in thy laws be sound,that sham'd I never be.
81. My soul for thy salvation faints;yet I thy word believe.
82. Mine eyes fail for thy word: I say,When wilt thou comfort give?
83. For like a bottle I'm become,that in the smoke is set:I'm black, and parch'd with grief; yet Ithy statutes not forget.
84. How many are thy servant's days?when wilt thou executeJust judgment on these wicked menthat do me persecute?
85. The proud have digged pits for me,which is against thy laws.
86. Thy words all faithful are: help me,pursu'd without a cause.
87. They so consum'd me, that on earthmy life they scarce did leave:Thy precepts yet forsook I not,but close to them did cleave.
