81. My soul longs for your salvation;I put my hope in your word.
82. My eyes long to see your promise.When will you comfort me?
83. I am like a wineskin shriveled by smoke,but I have not forgotten your statutes.
84. How long can your servant survive?When will your judgment doom my foes?
85. The arrogant have dug pits for me;defying your law.
86. All your commandments are steadfast.Help me! I am pursued without cause.
87. They have almost put an end to me on earth,but I do not forsake your precepts.
