Psalms 119:81-96 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

81. My soul languishes for your salvation; I hope in your word.

82. My eyes long for your word, saying, “When will you comfort me?”

83. For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke, yet I have not forgotten your statutes.

84. How many are the days of your servant? When will you execute justice against those who persecute me?

85. The arrogant have dug pits for me, which is not according to your law.

86. All your commands are faithful. They persecute me deceitfully; help me!

87. They have almost destroyed me on the earth, but I have not forsaken your precepts.

88. According to your loyal love preserve me alive, so that I may heed the testimony from your mouth.

89. Forever, O Yahweh, your word is settled in heaven.

90. Your faithfulness endures throughout all generations. You have established the earth and it stands.

91. By your ordinances they stand today, for all are your servants.

92. Unless your law had been my delight, then I would have perished in my misery.

93. I will not ever forget your precepts, for by them you revive me.

94. I am yours. Save me, for I have sought your precepts.

95. For me the wicked lie in wait to destroy me. I give attention to your testimonies.

96. I have seen a limit to every perfection; your command is very broad.
