75. I know, O lord, that your regulations are fair;you disciplined me because I needed it.
76. Now let your unfailing love comfort me,just as you promised me, your servant.
77. Surround me with your tender mercies so I may live,for your instructions are my delight.
78. Bring disgrace upon the arrogant people who lied about me;meanwhile, I will concentrate on your commandments.
79. Let me be united with all who fear you,with those who know your laws.
80. May I be blameless in keeping your decrees;then I will never be ashamed.
81. I am worn out waiting for your rescue,but I have put my hope in your word.
82. My eyes are straining to see your promises come true.When will you comfort me?
83. I am shriveled like a wineskin in the smoke,but I have not forgotten to obey your decrees.
84. How long must I wait?When will you punish those who persecute me?
