My eyes are wasted with desire for your salvation, and for the word of your righteousness.
VAU Let your mercies come to me, O Lord, even your salvation, as you have said.
My soul is watching for the Lord more than those who are watching for the morning; yes, more than the watchers for the morning.
Be quick in answering me, O Lord, for the strength of my spirit is gone: let me see your face, so that I may not be like those who go down into the underworld.
I am tired with my crying; my throat is burning: my eyes are wasted with waiting for my God.
Our eyes are still wasting away in looking for our false help: we have been watching for a nation unable to give salvation.
