PSALM 119 (11) 10 10 10 10

81 My soul for your salvation yearns and faints;
But I have set my hope upon your word.
82 I’m weary looking for your promises;
I say, “When will you comfort me, O LORD?”

83 I’m shrivelled like a wineskin in the smoke,
Yet I do not forget all your decrees.
84 O how much longer must your servant wait?
When will you punish all my enemies?

85 The proud have hidden pitfalls in my way;
Their mind is fixed against your holy laws.
86 All your commands remain for ever sure;
LORD, help me! for they hound me without cause.

87 They almost wiped your servant from the earth,
But your commandments I did not betray.
88 Preserve my life according to your love;
The statutes of your mouth I will obey.
