Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, And for thy righteous word.
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.
My eyes are worn out looking for your saving help— looking for your word that will set things right.
Let thy mercies also come unto me, O LORD, Even thy salvation, according to thy word.
My soul looketh for the Lord, More than watchmen look for the morning; Yea, more than watchmen for the morning.
Make haste to answer me, O LORD; my spirit faileth: Hide not thy face from me; Lest I become like them that go down into the pit.
I am weary with my crying; my throat is dried: Mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
Our eyes do yet fail in looking for our vain help; in our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save.
