Psalms 119:81-88

CEB

NIV

81 My whole being yearns for your saving help! I wait for your promise.
81 My soul faints with longing for your salvation, but I have put my hope in your word.
82 My eyes are worn out looking for your word. "When will you comfort me?" I ask,
82 My eyes fail, looking for your promise; I say, “When will you comfort me?”
83 because I've become like a bottle dried up by smoke, though I haven't forgotten your statutes.
83 Though I am like a wineskin in the smoke, I do not forget your decrees.
84 How much more time does your servant have? When will you bring my oppressors to justice?
84 How long must your servant wait? When will you punish my persecutors?
85 The arrogant have dug pits for me— those people who act against your Instruction.
85 The arrogant dig pits to trap me, contrary to your law.
86 All your commandments are true, but people harass me for no reason. Help me!
86 All your commands are trustworthy; help me, for I am being persecuted without cause.
87 They've almost wiped me off the face of the earth! Meanwhile, I haven't abandoned your precepts!
87 They almost wiped me from the earth, but I have not forsaken your precepts.
88 Make me live again according to your faithful love so I can keep the law you've given!
88 In your unfailing love preserve my life, that I may obey the statutes of your mouth.
