77 Have mercy on me, and I will livebecause 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 commandmentsand 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.
