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.
91. By your judgments they stand firm to this day,for all things are your servants.
92. Had your law not been my delight,I would have perished in my affliction.
