82. My eyes are tired from watching for what you promised,while I ask, “When will you help me?”
83. I am as useless as a discarded wineskin;yet I have not forgotten your commands.
84. How much longer must I wait?When will you punish those who persecute me?
85. The proud, who do not obey your law,have dug pits to trap me.
86. Your commandments are all trustworthy;people persecute me with lies — help me!
87. They have almost succeeded in killing me,but I have not neglected your commands.
88. Because of your constant love be good to me,so that I may obey your laws.
89. Your word, O Lord, will last for ever;it is eternal in heaven.
