Psalm 119:123

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

My eyes fail from watching for your salvation and for the fulfillment of your righteous promise.

See the chapter Copy

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 fails. Do not hide your face from me, or I shall be like those who go down to the Pit.

I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched. My eyes grow dim with waiting for my God.

Our eyes failed, ever watching vainly for help; we were watching eagerly for a nation that could not save.

Let your steadfast love come to me, O Lord, your salvation according to your promise.
