ך Kaph

81 aMy soul faints for Your salvation,
But I hope in Your word. 
82 My eyes fail from searching Your word,
Saying, “When will You comfort me?”
83 For aI have become like a wineskin in smoke,
Yet I do not forget Your statutes. 
84 aHow many are the days of Your servant?
bWhen will You execute judgment on those who persecute me? 
85 aThe proud have dug pits for me,
Which is not according to Your law.

Psalms 119:83

Like a bottle in the smoke - In the eastern countries their bottles are made of skins; one of these hung in the smoke must soon be parched and shrivelled up. This represents the exhausted state of his body and mind by long bodily affliction and mental distress.
