77. May Your compassion come to me so that I may live,for Your instruction is my delight.
78. Let the arrogant be put to shame for slandering me with lies;I will meditate on Your precepts.
79. Let those who fear You,those who know Your decrees, turn to me.
80. May my heart be blameless regarding Your statutes so that I will not be put to shame.
81. I long for Your salvation; I put my hope in Your word.
82. My eyes grow wearylooking for what You have promised; I ask, “When will You comfort me? ”
83. Though I have become like a wineskin dried by smoke,I do not forget Your statutes.
