80Let my heart be sound in your statutes, *
that I may not be put to shame.
Kaph Defecit in salutare
81My soul has longed for your salvation; *
I have put my hope in your word.
82My eyes have failed from watching for your promise, *
and I say, “When will you comfort me?”
83I have become like a leather flask in the smoke, *
but I have not forgotten your statutes.
84How much longer must I wait? *
when will you give judgment against those who persecute me?
85The proud have dug pits for me; *
they do not keep your law.
86All your commandments are true; *
help me, for they persecute me with lies.
87They had almost made an end of me on earth, *
but I have not forsaken your commandments.
88In your loving‑kindness, revive me, *
that I may keep the decrees of your mouth.
Lamedh In æternum, Domine
89O Lord, your word is everlasting; *
it stands firm in the heavens.
90Your faithfulness remains from one generation to another; *
you established the earth, and it abides.
770 Psalm 119:81, 89
