A Prayer for Deliverance (PSA 119:81-88)

[119:81] I am worn out, Lord, waiting for you to save me; I place my trust in your word.

[119:82] My eyes are tired from watching for what you promised, while I ask, “When will you help me?”

[119:83] I am as useless as a discarded wineskin; yet I have not forgotten your commands.

[119:84] How much longer must I wait? When will you punish those who persecute me?

[119:85] The proud, who do not obey your law, have dug pits to trap me.

[119:86] Your commandments are all trustworthy; people persecute me with lies—help me!

[119:87] They have almost succeeded in killing me, but I have not neglected your commands.

[119:88] Because of your constant love be good to me, so that I may obey your laws.
