Psalm 119 (Kaph) Prayed

Psalm 119 (Kaph) Prayed K    King of kings,               My soul faints with longing for your salvation,               but I have put my hope in your word.    My eyes fail, looking for the promise of Christ;               I say, “When will you comfort me?”    Though I am like a wineskin in the smoke,               I do not forget your decrees.    How long must your servant wait?               When will you punish my persecutors?    The arrogant dig pitfalls for me,               contrary to your law.    All the Bible is trustworthy;               help me, for men persecute me without cause.    They almost wiped me from the earth,               but I have not forsaken your precepts.    Preserve my life according to your love,               and I will obey the statutes of your mouth. Psalm 119:81-88 (Kaph) 81   My soul faints with longing for your salvation,               but I have put my hope in your word. 82   My eyes fail, looking for your promise;               I say, “When will you comfort me?” 83   Though I am like a wineskin in the smoke,               I do not forget your decrees. 84   How long must your servant wait?               When will you punish my persecutors? 85   The arrogant dig pitfalls for me,               contrary to your law. 86   All your commands are trustworthy;               help me, for men persecute me without               cause. 87   They almost wiped me from the earth,               but I have not forsaken your precepts. 88   Preserve my life according to your love,               and I will obey the statutes of your mouth.
