Psalms 119:83-92
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 119
83Though I have become like a wineskin in the smoke, I do not forget Your statutes. 84How many are the days of Your servant? When will You execute judgment on those who persecute me? 85The arrogant have dug pits for me, People who are not in accord with Your Law. 86All Your commandments are faithful; They have persecuted me with a lie; help me! 87They almost destroyed me on earth, But as for me, I did not abandon Your precepts. 88Revive me according to Your faithfulness, So that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth. 89Forever, Lord, Your word stands in heaven. 90Your faithfulness continues throughout generations; You established the earth, and it stands. 91They stand this day by Your ordinances, For all things are Your servants. 92If Your Law had not been my delight, Then I would have perished in my misery.King James Version
85The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.
86All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.
87They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.

Chapter 119
83Though I have become like a wineskin dried by smoke, I do not forget your statutes. 84How many days must your servant wait? When will you execute judgment on my persecutors? 85The arrogant have dug pits for me; they violate your instruction. 86All your commands are true; people persecute me with lies--help me! 87They almost ended my life on earth, but I did not abandon your precepts. 88Give me life in accordance with your faithful love, and I will obey the decree you have spoken. 89Lord, your word is forever; it is firmly fixed in heaven. 90Your faithfulness is for all generations; you established the earth, and it stands firm. 91Your judgments stand firm today, for all things are your servants. 92If your instruction had not been my delight, I would have died in my affliction.New Living Translation
Chapter 119
83I am shriveled like a wineskin in the smoke, but I have not forgotten to obey your decrees. 84How long must I wait? When will you punish those who persecute me? 85These arrogant people who hate your instructions have dug deep pits to trap me. 86All your commands are trustworthy. Protect me from those who hunt me down without cause. 87They almost finished me off, but I refused to abandon your commandments. 88In your unfailing love, spare my life; then I can continue to obey your laws.
89Your eternal word, O Lord, stands firm in heaven.
90Your faithfulness extends to every generation, as enduring as the earth you created.
91Your regulations remain true to this day, for everything serves your plans.
92If your instructions hadn’t sustained me with joy, I would have died in my misery.
English Standard Version
Chapter 119
83For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke, yet I have not forgotten your statutes. 84How long must your servant endure? When will you judge those who persecute me? 85The insolent have dug pitfalls for me; they do not live according to your law. 86All your commandments are sure; they persecute me with falsehood; help me! 87They have almost made an end of me on earth, but I have not forsaken your precepts. 88In your steadfast love give me life, that I may keep the testimonies of your mouth.
89Forever, O LORD, your word is firmly fixed in the heavens.
90Your faithfulness endures to all generations; you have established the earth, and it stands fast.
91By your appointment they stand this day, for all things are your servants.
92If your law had not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction.
