Psalms 119:72-90
[72]The law that you gave means more to me     than all the money in the world.
[73]You created me, and you keep me safe; give me understanding, so that I may learn your laws.
[74]Those who honour you will be glad when they see me, because I trust in your promise.
[75]I know that your judgements are righteous, Lord,  and that you punished me because you are faithful.
[76]Let your constant love comfort me,     as you have promised me, your servant.
[77]Have mercy on me, and I will live because I take pleasure in your law.
[78]May the proud be ashamed for falsely accusing me; as for me, I will meditate on your instructions.
[79]May those who honour you come to me —     all those who know your commands.
[80]May I perfectly obey your commandments     and be spared the shame of defeat.
[81]I am worn out, Lord, waiting for you to save me; I place my trust in your word.
[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.
[90]Your faithfulness endures through all the ages; you have set the earth in place, and it remains.
