Psalms 119:81
79 May those who fear You turn to me, those who know Your testimonies.
80 May my heart be blameless in Your statutes, that I may not be put to shame.
My soul faints for Your salvation; I wait for Your word.
82 My eyes fail, looking for Your promise; I ask, “When will You comfort me?”
83 Though I am like a wineskin dried up by smoke, I do not forget Your statutes.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
