My eyesfail[with longing] for Your word,While I say,"Whenwill You comfortme?"
My eyesfail[with longing] for Your salvationAnd for Your righteousword.
I am wearywith my crying;my throatis parched;My eyesfailwhile I waitfor my God.
Showme a signfor good,That those who hateme may see[it] and be ashamed,BecauseYou, O LORD,have helpedme and comfortedme.
Hopedeferredmakesthe heartsick,But desirefulfilledis a treeof life.
I said,"I will not seethe LORD,The LORDin the landof the living;I will lookon mannomoreamongthe inhabitantsof the world.
My eyesfailbecause of tears,My spiritis greatlytroubled;My heartis pouredout on the earthBecauseof the destructionof the daughterof my people,When littleonesand infantsfaintIn the streetsof the city.
"Your sonsand your daughtersshall be givento anotherpeople,while your eyeslookon and yearnfor them continually;but therewill be nothingyou can do.
