Psalm 119:83

New American Bible - revised edition

I am like a wineskin shriveled by smoke, but I have not forgotten your statutes.

See the chapter Copy

My blackened skin falls away from me; my very frame is scorched by the heat.

In your statutes I take delight; I will never forget your word.

I have wandered like a lost sheep; seek out your servant, for I do not forget your commandments.

Though the snares of the wicked surround me, your law I do not forget.

Like water my life drains away; all my bones are disjointed. My heart has become like wax, it melts away within me.
