New International Version

Psalm 119:79-87 New International Version (NIV)

79. May those who fear you turn to me, those who understand your statutes.

80. May I wholeheartedly follow your decrees, that I may not be put to shame.

81. My soul faints with longing for your salvation, but I have put my hope in your word.

82. My eyes fail, looking for your promise; I say, “When will you comfort me?”

83. Though I am like a wineskin in the smoke, I do not forget your decrees.

84. How long must your servant wait? When will you punish my persecutors?

85. The arrogant dig pits to trap me, contrary to your law.

86. All your commands are trustworthy; help me, for I am being persecuted without cause.

87. They almost wiped me from the earth, but I have not forsaken your precepts.
