Psalm 119:123

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

My eyes fail with watching for thy salvation, and for the fulfilment of thy righteous promise.

See the chapter Copy

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

Let thy steadfast love come to me, O Lord, thy salvation according to thy promise;
