Quia factus sum sicut uter in pruina; justificationes tuas non sum oblitus.
84 How many are the days of thy servant? When wilt thou execute judgment upon my persecutors?
Quot sunt dies servi tui? quando facies de persequentibus me judicium?
85 The proud have digged pits for me; They who do not regard thy law.
Narraverunt mihi iniqui fabulationes, sed non ut lex tua.
86 All thy commandments are faithful; They persecute me without cause; help thou me!
Omnia mandata tua veritas: inique persecuti sunt me, adjuva me.
