Psalm 119:81
Verse 81 of 176. The 119th of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.
77Let your tender mercies come to me, that I may live; for your law is my delight.
78Let the proud be disappointed, for they have overthrown me wrongfully. I will meditate on your precepts.
79Let those who fear you turn to me. They will know your statutes.
80Let my heart be blameless toward your decrees, that I may not be disappointed. KAPF
81My soul faints for your salvation. I hope in your word.
82My eyes fail for your word. I say, “When will you comfort me?”
83For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke. I don’t forget your statutes.
84How many are the days of your servant? When will you execute judgment on those who persecute me?
85The proud have dug pits for me, contrary to your law.
