When will You execute judgment on my persecutors? 85The arrogant have dug pits for me in violation of Your law. 86All Your commandments are faithful; I am persecuted without cause—help me! 87They almost wiped me from the earth, but I have not forsaken Your precepts. 88Revive me according to Your loving devotion, that I may obey the testimony of Your mouth. 89Your word, O LORD, is everlasting; it is firmly fixed in the heavens. 90Your faithfulness continues through all generations; You established the earth, and it endures. 91Your ordinances stand to this day, for all things are servants to You. 92If Your law had not been my delight, then I would have perished in my affliction. 93I will never forget Your precepts, for by them You have revived me. 94I am Yours; save me, for I have sought Your precepts. 95The wicked wait to destroy me, but I will ponder Your testimonies. 96I have seen a limit to all perfection, but Your commandment is without limit. 97Oh, how I love Your law!
