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