In Psalm 119:81–88, we see a believer who is weary, waiting, and wounded, yet still clinging to the promises of God. His soul feels dried like a smoke-blackened wineskin, but his hope remains anchored in the Word. Even under persecution, delay, and emotional fatigue, he refuses to forsake God’s precepts. Instead, he pleads for revival through the lovingkindness of the Lord, knowing that His presence restores what trials have cracked.
