“I am worn out waiting for Your rescue, but I have put my hope in Your word.
My eyes are straining to see Your promises come true.
When will You comfort me?
I am shriveled like a wineskin in the smoke, but have not forgotten to obey
your decrees.
How long must I wait?
When will You punish those who persecute me?
These arrogant people who hate Your instructions
have dug deep pits to trap me.
All Your commands are trustworthy.
Protect me from the who hunt me down without cause.
They almost finished me off, but I refused to abandon Your commandments.
In you unfailing love spare my life, then I can continue to obey Your laws.”
