When will you console me?

Psalm 119:81-88
XI (Caph)

A meditation on God’s law

Loving God means keeping his commandments (1 John 5:3).

I yearn for your saving help; *
I hope in your word.
My eyes yearn to see your promise. *
When will you console me?

Though parched and exhausted with waiting *
I have not forgotten your commands.
How long must your servant suffer? *
When will you judge my foes?

For me the proud have dug pitfalls, *
against your law.
Your commands are all true; then help me *
when lies oppress me.

They almost made an end of me on earth *
but I kept your precepts.
Because of your love give me life *
and I will do your will.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, *
and will be for ever. Amen.
