- 119:84How many are the days of Your servant? / When will You execute justice upon my persecutors?
- 119:85The proud have dug pits for me, / Those who are not according to Your law.
- 119:86All Your commandments are faithful; / They persecute me falsely; help me.
- 119:87They have almost consumed me upon the earth; / But I have not forsaken Your precepts.
- 119:88Enliven me according to Your lovingkindness, / And I will keep the testimony of Your mouth.
