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?
