CAPH: Fainting for Salvation Amidst Persecution

Psalms 119:81-88

My soul fainteth for thy salvation; ButI hope in thy word.

Mine eyes fail for thy word, While I say, When wilt thou comfort me?

For I am become like a wine-skin in the smoke; Yet do I not forget thy statutes.

How many are the days of thy servant? When wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?

The proud have digged pits for me, Who are not according to thy law.

All thy commandments are faithful: They persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.

They had almost consumed me upon earth; But I forsook not thy precepts.

Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; So shall I observe the testimony of thy mouth. ל LAMEDH.
