77. Let your compassion come to me that I may live, for your law is my delight.
78. May the arrogant be put to shame for wronging me without cause; but I will meditate on your precepts.
79. May those who fear you turn to me, those who understand your statutes.
80. May I wholeheartedly follow your decrees, that I may not be put to shame.
81. My soul faints with longing for your salvation, but I have put my hope in your word.
82. My eyes fail, looking for your promise; I say, “When will you comfort me?”
83. Though I am like a wineskin in the smoke, I do not forget your decrees.
