My eyes fail for Your salvation, and for the Word of Your righteousness.
VAU: Let Your mercies come to me, O Jehovah, even according to Your salvation, according to Your Word.
My soul waits for Jehovah more than morning-watchers who are watching for the morning.
Hear me quickly, O Jehovah; my spirit fails; do not hide Your face from me, lest I be like those who go down into the Pit.
I am weary from my crying; my throat is dried; my eyes fail while I wait for my God.
While we are, our eyes fail, for our help is vain; in our watching we have watched for a nation; it does not save.
