Psalm 119:85

Verse 85 of 176. The 119th of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.

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.

86All of your commandments are faithful. They persecute me wrongfully. Help me!

87They had almost wiped me from the earth, but I didn’t forsake your precepts.

88Preserve my life according to your loving kindness, so I will obey the statutes of your mouth. LAMEDH

89LORD, your word is settled in heaven forever.
