Psalms 119:84
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.
How many days must Your servant wait? When will You execute judgment on my persecutors?
85 The arrogant have dug pits for me in violation of Your law.
86 All Your commandments are faithful; I am persecuted without cause—help me!
