77. May Your compassion come to me that I may live, For Your law is my delight.
78. May the arrogant be ashamed, for they subvert me with a lie; But I shall meditate on Your precepts.
79. May those who fear You turn to me, Even those who know Your testimonies.
80. May my heart be blameless in Your statutes, So that I will not be ashamed.
81. My soul languishes for Your salvation; I wait for Your word.
82. My eyes fail with longing for Your word, While I say, "When will You comfort me?"
83. Though I have become like a wineskin in the smoke, I do not forget Your statutes.
84. How many are the days of Your servant? When will You execute judgment on those who persecute me?
85. The arrogant have dug pits for me, Men who are not in accord with Your law.
