כ Kaph81My soul faints with longing for your salvation, but I have put my hope in your word.82My eyes fail, looking for your promise; I say, “When will you comfort me?”83Though I am like a wineskin in the smoke, I do not forget your decrees.84How long must your servant wait? When will you punish my persecutors?85The arrogant dig pits to trap me, contrary to your law.86All your commands are trustworthy; help me, for I am being persecuted without cause.87They almost wiped me from the earth, but I have not forsaken your precepts.88In your unfailing love preserve my life, that I may obey the statutes of your mouth.
