 My soul is consumed with longing for your ordinances at all times. 

 


21

 You have rebuked the proud who are cursed, Who wander from your commandments.

84

 How many are the days of your servant? When will you execute judgment on those who persecute me? 

 


85

 The proud have dug pits for me, Contrary to your law. 

 


86

 All of your commandments are faithful. They persecute me wrongfully. Help me!
