My eyes fail with watching for thy salvation, and for the fulfilment of thy righteous promise.
Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, And for the word of thy righteousness.
My eyes fail, watching for Your salvation and for the fulfillment of Your righteous promise.
Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, And for thy righteous word.
My eyes are worn out looking for your saving help— looking for your word that will set things right.
Let thy steadfast love come to me, O Lord, thy salvation according to thy promise;
my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.
Make haste to answer me, O Lord! My spirit fails! Hide not thy face from me, lest I be like those who go down to the Pit.
I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched. My eyes grow dim with waiting for my God.
Our eyes failed, ever watching vainly for help; in our watching we watched for a nation which could not save.
