Ps 119:81-96: During periods of suffering, the psalmist has at times wondered why God is slow to act in saving him as he promised.
He feels as useless and lifeless as a dried-up wineskin (Ps 119:81-83).
Yet he does not lose hope. He still trusts in the steadfast love of God to deliver him from the treachery of his persecutors (Ps 119:84-88).
God and his word are lasting and unchangeable. His promises are sure (Ps 119:89-91).
This encourages him to believe that God will save him through his trials (Ps 119:92-96).
