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.
