77 Surround me with your tender mercies so I may live,for your instructions are my delight.
78 Bring disgrace upon the arrogant people who lied about me;meanwhile, I will concentrate on your commandments.
79 Let me be united with all who fear you,with those who know your laws.
80 May I be blameless in keeping your decrees;then I will never be ashamed.
81 I am worn out waiting for your rescue,but I have put my hope in your word.
82 My eyes are straining to see your promises come true.When will you comfort me?
83 I am shriveled like a wineskin in the smoke,but I have not forgotten to obey your decrees.
