My eyes fail from watching for Your salvation, and for the fulfillment of Your righteous word.
Let Your mercies also come to me, O Lord, Your salvation according to Your word.
My soul waits for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning; indeed, more than those who watch for the morning.
Answer me quickly, O Lord; my spirit fails! Hide not Your face from me, lest I be like those who go down into the pit.
I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched; my eyes grow dim while I wait for my God.
Our eyes failed us, watching vainly for help; in our watchtowers we watched for a nation that could not save us.
