Psalm 119:81-88 – Kaph

My soul longs for your salvation; 
     I hope in your word. 
 My eyes long for your promise; 
     I ask, “When will you comfort me?” 
 For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke, 
     yet I have not forgotten your statutes. 
 How long must your servant endure?
     When will you judge those who persecute me? 
 The insolent have dug pitfalls for me; 
     they do not live according to your law. 
 All your commandments are sure; 
     they persecute me with falsehood; help me! 
 They have almost made an end of me on earth, 
     but I have not forsaken your precepts. 
 In your steadfast love give me life, 
     that I may keep the testimonies of your mouth.
