Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness.
Let thy mercies come also unto me, O Lord, even thy salvation, according to thy word.
My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.
Hear me speedily, O Lord; my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help: in our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save us.
