85 Arrogant people have dug pits to trap mein defiance of your teachings.
86 (All your commandments are reliable.)Those people persecute me with lies. Help me!
87 They almost wiped me off ⌊the face of⌋ the earth.But I did not abandon your guiding principles.
88 Give me a new life through your mercyso that I may obey the written instructions,⌊which came⌋ from your mouth.
89 O Lord, your word is established in heaven forever.
