Psalms 119:82-99 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

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.

88. In your mercy give me life,to observe the testimonies of your mouth.

89. Your word, Lord, stands forever;it is firm as the heavens.

90. Through all generations your truth endures;fixed to stand firm like the earth.

91. By your judgments they stand firm to this day,for all things are your servants.

92. Had your law not been my delight,I would have perished in my affliction.

93. I will never forget your precepts;through them you give me life.

94. I am yours; save me,for I cherish your precepts.

95. The wicked hope to destroy me,but I seek to understand your testimonies.

96. I have seen the limits of all perfection,but your commandment is without bounds.

97. How I love your law, Lord!I study it all day long.

98. Your commandment makes me wiser than my foes,as it is forever with me.

99. I have more insight than all my teachers,because I ponder your testimonies.
