BETH. In quo corrigit adolescentior viam suam? in custodiendo sermones tuos.
10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.
In toto corde meo exquisivi te: ne repellas me a mandatis tuis.

82 Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
Defecerunt oculi mei in eloquium tuum, dicentes: Quando consolaberis me?
83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; [yet] do I not forget thy statutes.
Quia factus sum sicut uter in pruina: iustificationes tuas non sum oblitus.
84 How many [are] the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
Quot sunt dies servi tui: quando facies de persequentibus me iudicium?
85 The proud have digged pits for me, which [are] not after thy law.
Narraverunt mihi iniqui fabulationes: sed non ut lex tua.
