My eyes are strained from looking for you to save me and from looking for the fulfillment of your righteous promise.
Let your blessings reach me, O Lord. Save me as you promised.
My soul waits for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning, more than those who watch for the morning.
Answer me quickly, O Lord. My spirit is worn out. Do not hide your face from me, or I will be like those who go into the pit.
I am exhausted from crying for help. My throat is hoarse. My eyes are strained ⌞from⌟ looking for my God.
“We are still straining our eyes, trying in vain to find help. We waited and waited for a nation that didn’t save us.
