Psalms 119:81-88

81I am worn out waiting for your rescue, but I have put my hope in your word.

82My eyes are straining to see your promises come true. When will you comfort me?

83I am shriveled like a wineskin in the smoke, but I have not forgotten to obey your decrees.

84How long must I wait? When will you punish those who persecute me?

85These arrogant people who hate your instructions have dug deep pits to trap me.

86All your commands are trustworthy. Protect me from those who hunt me down without cause.

87They almost finished me off, but I refused to abandon your commandments.

88In your unfailing love, spare my life; then I can continue to obey your laws.
