77. Show me compassion that I may live,for your law is my delight.
78. Shame the proud for leading me astray with falsehood,that I may study your testimonies.
79. Let those who fear you turn to me,those who acknowledge your testimonies.
80. May I be wholehearted toward your statutes,that I may not be put to shame.
81. My soul longs for your salvation;I put my hope in your word.
82. My eyes long to see your promise.When will you comfort me?
83. I am like a wineskin shriveled by smoke,but I have not forgotten your statutes.
84. How long can your servant survive?When will your judgment doom my foes?
85. The arrogant have dug pits for me;defying your law.
86. All your commandments are steadfast.Help me! I am pursued without cause.
87. They have almost put an end to me on earth,but I do not forsake your precepts.
88. In your mercy give me life,to observe the testimonies of your mouth.
89. Your word, Lord, stands forever;it is firm as the heavens.
90. Through all generations your truth endures;fixed to stand firm like the earth.
